Lewandowski: Maybe I will play in England or Spain
The prolific Poland international striker dropped at hint as to
which club he could sign for at some point in the future as he revealed his
goalscoring idol
Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has admitted he could be tempted to play in
the Premier League or La Liga.
The
Poland international has spent the majority of his senior career in Germany,
having signed for Borussia Dortmund from Lech Poznan in 2010 before moving to
arch-rivals Bayern Munich in 2014.
His
incredible strike rate - he has scored 63 goals in 95 appearances since joining
Munich - has made him a transfer target for the game's biggest clubs.
But
he will only leave for a club that can consistently compete for trophies in the
same fashion that Bayern Munich do.
"Maybe
I'll play in England or Spain one day," Lewandowski told France
Football.
"But,
if I committed to pursuing my career in Munich, it's because I considered it
the ideal club at which to move up a level and to win more trophies.
"The
fact that every season they reach at least the semi-finals of the Champions
League impressed me.
"Apart
from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, what other teams can brag
about such consistency?
"I
don't know what my future will look like but at the moment I'm very happy at
Bayern."
However,
Lewandowski said his idol growing up was Arsenal great Thierry Henry,
suggesting he might be tempted to try and emulate the Frenchman's feats at the
north London club as they look to re-establish themselves as genuine title
contenders in England and in Europe.
"Thierry
Henry has always been my idol, especially when he played for Arsenal. I watched
a lot of his matches," he said.
Lewandowski
might even be tempted to Manchester City to continue working with current coach
Pep Guardiola, who will head to the Premier League at the end of the season.
"With
him I have made much progress. After three months with him, I realised that I
had already taken several steps," he added.
