'They're top leagues' - Bayer Leverkusen winger Paulinho open to future EPL move

Bayer Leverkusen winger Paulinho is open to a move to either the Premier League or La Liga in future.

The Brazilian, 20, arrived in European football in 2018 with a big reputation having signed from Vasco da Gama for £16 million, however, a serious knee injury caused him to miss almost all of the 2020-21 Bundesliga campaign.

Paulinho is now back to full fitness, playing 66 minutes of Leverkusen's final league game of the season, and has outlined his hopes for the future of his career.

Asked if there is any country he would particularly like to play in during his career, Paulinho told Goal: "I will be prepared if an opportunity arrives. Spain has very good football, so does England. They're top leagues. Germany as well, the Bundesliga is a top league with a very high level and every player wants to play in those big leagues."
