Porto striker Falcao has confessed he would like the chance to play in the Premier League but says a move away from his current club would not be easy.
The Columbian is currently in talks over a new contract that includes a £25 million release clause, but has admitted he would to experience playing in the biggest leagues in the world and said he was tempted the interest from the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham.
Falcao told reporters: “I prefer not to read the press but I know I have been linked with Real Madrid and big English clubs like Arsenal and Tottenham.
“In Europe there are big leagues and I am at a moment of my career when I would like to experience it.
“But it would be difficult to leave Porto this summer because the leaders of the club want to support the scheme of the team and reinforce the squad so they can compete in Champions League.”
Falcao scored 38 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions last season, including a record 17 in the club’s Europa League success.
He is currently with Colombia preparing for this summer’s Copa America competition in Argentina.
