KAKA admits Premiership allure


AC Milan star Kaka has revealed that he would like to play in England if he ever left the Champions League finalists.

The Brazilian forward was instrumental in Milan's demolition job of English champions-elect Manchester United last night, scoring once in the 3-0 semi-final second-leg win at the San Siro.

He also fired home a brace in the 3-2 reverse at Old Trafford in the first match and was rightly billed as a potential match winner by Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

But the 24-year-old has revealed that he has a strong admiration for the Premiership and would "definitely look at an English team" if he were ever to leave Italy.

"I love the competition [in the Premiership], the challenge," Kaka told Sky Sports News.

"Three English teams made the last four of this competition, so the challenge is very appealing," he added, referring to the fact that, as well as United, Chelsea and Liverpool both reached the Champions League semi-finals.

"Many champions play in England. If one day I was to leave Milan I would definitely look at an English team."

Kaka moved to Milan in 2003 from Brazilian side Sao Paulo and has become an integral part of the Serie A side in his four seasons at the club.
