Feyenoord Rotterdam midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-El-Ahmadi-c20353, has confessed that a move to play in the English Premier League side is just like a dream come true for him.
The 27-year-old, who arrived at De Kuip Stadion at the start of the 2008/09 season after making 89 Eredivisie appearances, has been performing consistently for the Stadiumclub.
His impressive performances attracted interest from a host of European clubs including Aston Villa, who expressed keen interest in acquiring his services before the 2012/13 season kicks-off.
The Villans finished 16th on the English Premier League table in the recently concluded 2011/12 season, and are looking to strengthen their squad before the new season commences.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-c29347 Lambert, the Villans head coach, saw the Moroccan international as a perfect addition to his squad, and wasted no time in tabling a bid of 2.8 million Euros in order to lure the defensive midfielder to Villa Park this summer.
El Ahmadi, who has thus far represented the Rotterdammers in 94 Eredivisie matches, has an ongoing contract at De Kuip Stadion that runs until the summer of 2013. Ahmadi was locked in extension talks with his club before the English Premier League outfit
approached him.
The versatile midfielder revealed that playing in the highest echelons of English football is a dream of every player.
“This is a dream for every player. I hope it will go through. I was on the verge of extending my contract but then this came along. I am 27, that's an age where you can look for a new challenge”, the versatile midfielder was quoted as saying to RTV Rijnmond.
The Moroccan international went on to insist that the English top flight competition is the best around the globe.
“For me the Premier League is the best league in the world. I didn't have to think long about it”, El Ahmadi concluded.
The highly-talented player, who can play at any position at the centre of the park, is already in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, enjoying his vacations. He would be hoping that the two sides reach an agreement at the earliest.
