Maltese footballer Andre Schembri is hoping to win a move to an English club during this summer's summer window, according to UK broadcaster Sky.
It said Schembri has made a significant impact in Germany, scoring in four of the last seven marches while on loan at Carl ZeissJena from Marasxlokk.
He is available on free transfer and has had offers from clubs in Denmark, Austria and Greece, as well as Carl Zeiss, but has insisted he would like to play in England.
"When I was younger, I came to Aston Villa and contract issued meant that I couldn't join. I am hoping the time for me to come is now, but if not, I will not stop trying," the player said.
