Reims striker Boulaye Dia admits he's open to a move to England.
Dia is being linked with Newcastle United and Brighton ahead of the January market.
"Yes, there is a little truth to the Brighton story but an agreement couldn't be reached between the clubs," he told Get Football News France.
"There were discussions but it didn't go any further. I'd like to experience England and the Premier League – all players dream of playing in the Premier League one day, and I'm one of those players.
"But there's no point making the move just for the experience of it. You need to move when you're ready, when you've proven yourself when you show consistency. You need to take your time and not move to England too quickly, otherwise, you'll quickly get lost."
