Schalke 04 defender Benedikt Howedes has suggested that he would like to move to England if he were to ever leave the German club.
The commanding centre-back is thought to be a potential transfer target for both Manchester United and Arsenal, with the Germany international stating that he could not play for another Bundesliga side given his admiration for Schalke.
"If I am to leave Schalke one day, I do not want to move clubs within the Bundesliga," said Howedes, according to the Daily Star.
"Schalke is too close to my heart to do so. But a move abroad at a certain time would be worth an experience. England would be my goal."
Howedes has notched 192 appearances for 04 and a further 32 for his national team.
