Canales open to Prem move

Canales open to Prem move

Racing Santander midfielder Sergio Canales has left the door open for English clubs to come knocking for his services.

The 18-year-old has been in the headlines this week after attracting interest from Europe's elite following four goals in his last three outings, including a brace against Sevilla.

With his contract set to expire in the summer, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have all been alerted by his exploits and the Spanish playmaker is open to a move abroad.

"The English league along with the Spanish is the best in the world. Both attract me," Canales told The Independant .

Canales' father, who acts as his agent, is thought to be travelling to London next week to speak with clubs about a proposed switch, however, Santander insist a verbal agreement to stay is in place.

English clubs would face stiff competition from Barcelona and Real Madrid who are both monitoring his situation and may be more likely destinations for the teenager.
