Former West Bromwich Albion defender Paul Scharner says that he "would be sad" if he were to leave the Premier League.

Former West Bromwich Albion defender Paul Scharner has revealed that he wants to remain in the Premier League next season.

The 32-year-old departed the Baggies this summer after seeing out a two-year contract, and he has claimed that his future should be decided by the "middle of July".

"I made my name here, and I've made more than 200 games in the Premier League. I would be sad to have to go and it would be hard, but I also know that anything is possible and I may have to move elsewhere," he told Sky Sports News.

"The plan was always to wait for the Euros to finish, wait for another couple of weeks and then make a decision. By the middle of July I should be ready to say where I will play my football next season.

"Everything is possible. I'm not worried what might or might not happen at all because these things happen in football. The career of a footballer is changeable and you have to be prepared to go where the work is."

Scharner has 40 Austrian caps to his name.
