Premier League target Tongo Doumbia says that he would love to play in the Premier League.

Alleged Arsenal target Tongo Doumbia has expressed his admiration for the Premier League.

The Rennes midfielder, who is also a target for Everton and Aston Villa, has confirmed that talks are ongoing with several clubs in English football.

The 22-year-old Mailian could be an alternative for the Gunners after they were priced out of a move for teammate Yann M'Vila, and Doumbia admits that a switch to England is appealing.

Asked by Le 10 Sport if he was in contact with a Premier League club, he said: "Yes, there are discussions. My agent is taking care of that - it is nice but a transfer requires all parties agreeing to it and now we are talking with Rennes.

"And this is not that I don't want to play with Rennes but this is the Premier League, it is a league that really attracts me. I think I have a playing style suited to the Premier League.

"I am due to resume training on Monday, but I hope everything will be fixed shortly."

Doumbia, who joined Rennes from Chateauroux in 2009, currently has two years left on his contract.
