Japan midfielder Keisuke Honda has sent out a come-and-get-me plea to his suitors, explaining he knows he will become a better player at a "big club".
Honda currently turns out in Russia for champions CSKA Moscow, but has been linked with the likes of Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain. Indeed, he has admitted he finds talk of a switch to either side to be "flattering".
Now 27 years old, Honda has been in Russia for three years, having joined CSKA Moscow in 2010 from Dutch minnows VVV-Venlo.
And he feels the time has come for a very big step up.

"I do not know what my next step will be, but I do know now that I have the opportunity to play for a big club", Honda said to the Japan Times.
"I will have to wait until August and then we’ll see.
"If I move to a big club, I am sure that I will be a better player.
"If I can play with better players then I myself will be better."
Honda helped CSKA Moscow to win the Russian Premier League title this season.
