Ghana international, Laryea Kingston admits his dream to play in the Premier League as he returned to action for Hearts in the Scottish league over the weekend.

The Hearts midfielder has continued to attract interest from the premiership with a possible move this summer resurrected following his return from injury.

Kingston was linked to a number of clubs in the January transfer window with Bolton, Portsmouth and Schalke all believed to be interested in signing the midfielder before injury struck.

Returning to the Hearts squad for Sunday's clash with Rangers, Kingston is hoping he can reignite interest from English clubs by hitting form in the close season.

"I had three or four offers to go to the Premier League and one in Germany. Those clubs are waiting to see if I am back on the pitch. Every player's dream is to play in the English Premier League because it is the best league in the world," he told the Sunday Herald.

"Before the window opened in January I had a lot of options down south and it was quite disappointing for me and the club management when I picked up an injury immediately after the window opened.

"That happens in football - sometimes you are expecting something and it doesn't happen and vice versa. It didn't happen so I can't say whether I would have left."
