Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong hints at Premier League ambitions

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has hinted he sees a future in the Premier League.

The former Ajax star has admitted he chose Barca over Manchester City last February.

And yesterday, he said: “I used to think that La Liga was the strongest football league in the world. You could see their dominance in European Cup competitions.

“The Spanish clubs always progressed a long way and often grabbed the main trophies, the Champions League and Europa League.

“But the Premier League has gained power over the last few years.

“When it comes to pure skills, La Liga is better. But because of the sheer intensity, the English competition is at a slightly higher level.”
