Zigic: "Premiership is a paradise"
Racing striker Nikola Zigic has commented that the Premiership is a "paradise" for a striker of his extreme height and revealed that he is aware of interest from a number of English clubs.
Giant Zigic, 26, has been linked with a 12 million-euro summer move to Tottenham Hotspur.
"I am aware that that some English teams have a continuing interest in me," As quote Zigic. "However, I have a contract with Racing."
Serbia international Zigic has scored seven Liga goals in a little-and-large partnership with Pedro Munitis while Racing have consolidated tenth position, only four points away from a European place.
He did not say which clubs were tracking him yet refused to rule out a move to England, believing the style of football to suit his unique physique.
"It is clear that the Premiership is a special paradise for a striker of my characteristics," Zigic continued, perhaps with Liverpool striker Peter Crouch in mind. "It is normal to think about my future and my career."
If he moved to Spurs then Zigic may serve as a talented replacement for Mido - rumoured to be leaving in the summer - in the Egyptian's role as foil to diminutive attackers Jermain Defoe or Robbie Keane in certain games.
He recently claimed that Serie B leaders Juventus were tracking his progress.
