John Arne Riise "would love" return to England

Ex-Liverpool defender John Arne Riise reveals that he is keen to secure a move back to England.

Former Liverpool left-back John Arne Riise has issued a come-and-get-me plea to English clubs.

There had been suggestions that the 35-year-old was going to retire once his stint with Indian club Delhi Dynamos came to an end late last year.

However, the Norwegian has claimed that he could play on for another five years, preferably in England.

"Physically, I feel strong and I want to play on until I'm 40. I think it's still too soon to go back to Norway and play. I still have a lot to offer on the pitch," he told the Liverpool Echo.

"It just has to be the right offer for me and my family. If the right offer doesn't come along then there are lot of other things I can do like TV work.

"I'd love to play in England again. That would be ideal in this window. I've had a few offers from different places but I would love to come back to England."

As well as Liverpool, Riise also spent three years in the Premier League with Fulham.
