Bologna captain Lewis Ferguson admits he sees his future in the Premier League.

The Scotland international was linked with Juventus and Aston Villa last season before suffering a knee injury towards the end of last season.

Ferguson said: "Receiving an offer was a possibility, last season I played well. Today, however, I don't think about it, I used my energy to recover from the injury. I could have also left, but I am here and I am happy."

The Scot saw Bologna teammates Josh Zirkzee and Riccardo Calafiori leave for Manchester United and Arsenal respectively over the summer.

He also told Il Corriere di Bologna: "It's normal, I'm happy for both of them, playing in the Premier League remains my dream, I don't know when but I want to get there."
