Inter sensation Obafemi Martins has invited Chelsea to make a future bid for his unique talents.
Although the Nigerian youngster says he is happy with life at the San Siro, he does have his eyes on playing in the Premiership.
"I love Internazionale," the 20-year-old forward told the Kick Off magazine back in his homeland.
"This is a big family, their fans are awesome and they have a very understanding Coach. I couldn't have asked for more.
"I'm happy and focused at doing well for Inter because they are the first in my heart.
"But the Premiership is the biggest and most exciting League in the world and every good player would love to play there.
"After my career with Inter, I'd obviously like to take my game there. It is going to be fantastic to play in the Premiership."
Martins is now one of Serie A’s most exciting players, but he feels his talents would be better served in England.
"I believe it is a League ideally suited to my own game. I think I can play my best football in England because it's played at a very quick pace," he noted. "We'll see what happens.
"Even though there are other good teams like Arsenal and Manchester United, it has to be Chelsea for me.
"I love the way they play and the atmosphere in the team. I love their progress over the years and I think they have one of the best coaches in the world in Jose Mourinho."
