RB Salzburg star Oumar Solet reveals his Premier League transfer dream & identifies Chelsea's Thiago Silva as his favourite player

The 23-year-old's performances in Austria have caught the attention of teams across Europe, with Everton said to be keeping track of him and Roma also reported to be interested. The centre-back is keeping his options open, but spoke of his admiration for the English top-flight.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Asked about his dreams for the future, Solet told GOAL: "To play for the best teams in the world, of course. To be an example for young players. I just want to show my skills to the whole world. Since the youngest age, I've been a fan of the Premier League, but from now on, I am really open about every top league. I just want to play great games and be happy."

WHAT OUMAR SOLET SAID

The French defender was also asked about his footballing heroes and he named a current Chelsea veteran as well as a Real Madrid icon as his favourites, adding: "Definitely, Thiago Silva and Sergio Ramos. They are my two favourites. They are fantastic examples for young players. Their skills, how they play, their intelligence, aggressiveness and everything. Unfortunately, I was injured against Thiago Silva last year against Chelsea. And if you asked about my models, I didn’t have any. But when I was young, my favourite players were Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldinho."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Frenchman joined the Salzburg team from Lyon in 2020 and is contracted to the club until the summer of 2025. He suggested he feels like he is almost ready to make the step up to another team, saying: "I need to cross a threshold and grow up as a football player. With the qualities and the ambitions I have, I think it will be the right time to go to the next step."
