Former Arsenal, Liverpool winger Pennant eyeing Premier League return

Wigan Athletic's Jermaine Pennant would love to again play in the Premier League.

The 32-year old winger has over 230 games experience in England's top flight with Stoke City, Liverpool, Birmingham City, Leeds United, Portsmouth and Arsenal and admits a return to the competition is something he certainly desires.

Pennant has been on somewhat of a decline over the past few years but believes he is now at a stage in his career where he can really enjoy his football at the top level.

"It's ironic really that I am now the best footballer and person I have possibly ever been. I enjoy every minute of every day as a footballer now, whereas before I might have taken things for granted," he said in the Daily Mirror.

"I work harder, I listen more, I lead the right life, but people won't know what I'm about until I'm at the training ground.

"It would be amazing to play in the Premier League as the person I am now, it would be great to share some good moments with my family."
