Fadiga eyes Premier League return
Senegalese midfielder Khalilou Fadiga is hoping to secure a deal that will allow him to return to the English Premier League.
Fadiga is currently playing for Belgian top-flight club Germinal Beerschot, but he is seeking a return to England.
The 33-year-old previously played for Bolton, Derby County and Coventry.
"I have chosen to stay here more for my family, but now I'm going to do my best to go back to England," he told BBC Sport.
"The football is amazing there. The fans, the preparation, and everything is fantastic.
"I'm going to do my best for now to play and enjoy myself with Germinal but I would like one day to go back."
"I lost some months from my career with injuries, but I've kept all those months on my body "
Khalilou Fadiga
Fadiga signed for Bolton in September 2004, after stints at Auxerre and Inter Milan.
The beginning of his spell at the Reebok Stadium was disrupted by a heart scare.
He has since been plagued by a series of injuries but he now says the years he has spent out with injuries have kept him fresh.
"I lost some months from my career with injuries, but I've kept all those months on my body and now I want to play and hope I'm not going to be injured any more," he said.
