Sunderland, Wigan target Hannover Konan

Sunderland and Wigan are hot on the trail of Hannover striker Didier Ya Konan, as he revealed the dream of playing for Premier League side.

The 28-year-old Ivorian has been linked with a move to several Premier League clubs last summer, with Sunderland and Wigan cited as the most likely candidates to secure the player’s services. But none of them have made an official offer.

However the interest in player, who scored 5 Bundesliga goals this season, has intensified after he has openly acknowledged he set his sights on making a switch to Premier League. Konan said: ” I have always dreamt of playing in the Premier League but nothing has happened so far. I heard about teams interested through my representative in the UK but nothing has happened. I am here in Hanover. We are trying to finish the season strongly and see at the end of the season. We played in Europe this season and we want to do that again.”
