Brazilian full-back Rafinha has claimed that he would “love” a move to English football and would welcome interest from Tottenham Hotspur.

Speaking to The Independent, the 26-year-old also admitted he is a regular viewer of the Premier League.

“Of course I’d love to play in England so I’m glad to hear about Tottenham showing an interest in me.

“I watch Tottenham’s games and they look like a great team, they also have two Brazilian players there already. It would be a pleasure for me to play there.

“If a concrete offer came through from Tottenham I’d be glad, but I’m also happy here [Genoa]. In the end it shows I’m playing well if an important team like I Tottenham is interested so that’s a great feeling.”

Rafinha, who plays in Serie A with Genoa, is thought to be valued at around £7m.
