Sampdoria playmaker Dennis Praet has all but ruled out a move to English Premier League, stating he is perfectly happy in Italy.
The 23-year-old has been in excellent form ever since he joined the Blucerchiati from Anderlecht in August 2016, going on to make 54 Serie A appearances.
His impressive showings did not go unnoticed as top Italian clubs are casting admiring glances his way, as are Newcastle United and Everton.
However, Praet admits he has no intention of moving to England and is clearly disappointed to have again be snubbed by Belgium boss Roberto Martinez.
“I don’t understand why people who don’t play are still called up for international duty, but evidently Serie A isn’t watched very closely in Belgium,” Praet told Le Soir.
“I had some time out due to injury, but I am doing well. I am convinced that if Samp played in England, I’d have been called up by Belgium.
“I am not interested in the Premier League. I have always said my preferred competitions are in Italy and Spain. I think they are more suited to my characteristics.
“I have improved a great deal since I’ve been here. I am truly happy that I chose the Blucerchiati.”
