The Daily Mirror are linking both Liverpool and Arsenal with Rangers’ Algerian defender Madjid Bougherra. The 27 year old, who played for Algeria at the World Cup, said to Skysports.com that he is content to stay with the Scottish club but he would love a move to the Premier League:
“First of all I am a Rangers player, my contract runs until 2012, so I am fine there. I would choose the Premier League if I had a choice, I love the English mentality and their football is the best. I heard that Hamburg and Arsenal are interested through the papers, but there is nothing official as yet. I am tired after the World Cup, so I want to have a holiday and recharge for next season. I want to test myself against the likes of (Wayne) Rooney, (Didier) Drogba, (Fernando) Torres and (Emmanuel) Adebayor as those guys let you know what level you are at. For me, it is also time for pay back because I don’t think a lot of people remember that I played in the Premier League with Charlton.”
