Arsenal, Spurs target Kjaer: Why I won't play in England

AC Milan defender Simon Kjaer admits he's resisted offers from the Premier League.

The Dane has been linked with the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham.

But the 32 year-old told TV3: "I have had my opportunities to go there, but it has never been the right thing for me. I have always liked a good climate and good food. Since I came down here when I was 19, it has always weighed incredibly high for me to be in the south.

"That was also why I went to Turkey and Spain so I could get challenges that lay in it.

"I have always been open to learning something new, but I am also a place where I want to do everything in the whole world to be there as long as possible, where the framework is right for me. So I have absolutely no plans to go to England."
