Olympique Marseille midfielder Lucho Gonzalez is looking for a move to the Premier League, according to the player's agent.

Gonzalez was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in the summer, but a loan deal for the 30-year-old was rejected by the French club. The Argentina international has also been previously linked with fellow Premier League side Everton, plus Roma and Fiorentina in Italy's Serie A.

"You'll have to ask Marseille why [Gonzalez] wasn't allowed to leave in August," the player's representative Federico Simonian told The Sun.

"Like every player he wants to make progress. He wants to be transferred to the Italian, Spanish or English leagues. Of course, he will be transferred to a team that deserves and appreciates him."
