Schweinsteiger Reveals Premier League Interest

Germany winger Bastian Schweinsteiger is interested in a move to the Premier League, according to the Sunday Mail.

Schweinsteiger has been at Bayern Munich since 2002, and had made over 150 appearances for the German champions. However, the 23-year-old has revealed that he would be tempted by a move England.

He told The Sunday Mail: "I may stay with Bayern and the coach has promised to be supportive of whatever decision I make.

"England does have a good appeal as it is one of the world's best leagues. I've always wanted to play there and we'll see if it happens this year."

The player is currently preparing for his nation’s Euro 2008 semi-final against Turkey, and has been one of the more prominent players of this German campaign.

After being ignominiously sent-off in the group stage defeat to Croatia, Schweinsteiger played a significant part in eliminating Portugal; he scored the opener in his side’s 3-2 quarter final win.

‘Schweini’ has just one year remaining on his current Bayern contract, and new manager Jurgen Klinsmann is reportedly keen on tying the player to a long term deal.

Schweinsteiger shone under Klinsmann, when the ex-striker was the coach of Die Nationalmannschaft, and took a starring role at the 2006 World Cup. The wide-man has thus far gained 54 caps for his nation.
