Whether it's the Premier League or Bundesliga, Daniel Wass will leave Evian at the end of this season.

The Dane has been watched by Liverpool and been linked with Chelsea, Newcastle United and West Ham United this season. But Wass, himself, admits a preference for the Bundesliga.

"If I were to name a dream League, it would have to be in Germany. It is a league that for me is second to none at the moment and I would fit in very well there," said Wass earlier this year.

No matter what is on the table, Wass will be sold by Evian this summer.

With just over a year to run on the midfielder's deal, Evian coach Pascal Dupraz conceded last week: "The club will not take the risk to see him go free in a year."

This follows on from comments by Dupraz earlier this season when he openly invited offers for Wass.

"We decided to keep him last summer, but things are clear. From June 30, he will showcase his talent elsewhere. I invite the big clubs interested in him to make us an offer."

Dupraz's remarks came at a time when Wass was going through a golden period in his career. The 25 year-old was in the form of his life, scoring eight goals in six games from Evian's midfield, and being mentioned alongside PSG superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic as among Ligue Une's most influential players.

Indeed, Wass was being linked with a big money move to PSG ahead of the January transfer window.

"There is no contact between us and PSG. But it would be a perfect club," the player's agent, Michael Johansen, said at the time. "If Evian get the right offer, I think they will sell."

In the end, the market shut with Wass still an Evian player, but with more suitors following his progress.

"I would like to try something new," Wass declared with the winter transfer window closed. "I've made no secret of that. Now I hope something happens in the summer."

The interest of Liverpool is no surprise, where manager Brendan Rodgers is shopping for a new, right-sided wing-back.

Ahead of settling on a midfield role under Dupraz, Wass arrived from an ill-fated spell with Benfica as a right-back.

"If there is anything I would change in my career it would be to have signed for Benfica. They never trusted me and never even gave me the opportunity to demonstrate my qualities," he recalls.

But at Evian, Wass, after a difficult first six months, found his feet working closely with Dupraz, who quickly recognised the player's attacking strengths.

It's been Dupraz who has encouraged Wass to develop his free-kicks to the point where the Dane is now being likened to a famous former Lyon player.

"He's a mini Juni (Juninho)," smiles Dupraz.

"This lad is a very good player. I will keep repeating it. He is our most decisive player at home - and there's much more to his game than being just a good free-kick taker."

That's been recognised by Denmark coach Morten Olsen, who recalled Wass for internationals against the USA and France.

Olsen played Wass at right-back in victory over the USA and felt he could've done better.

"But he'll learn from it," said the coach, "hopefully it will be instructive. Otherwise, you're a dumb footballer if you don't learn from such lessons."

For his part, Wass felt the criticism was over the top.

"I'm happy. It's good for me, my career, but also for the club, it shows that we are working well together. Morten Olsen sees me as a right wing-back. At ETG FC, I do not play in that position. But that does not matter. Against the USA, I played the whole match as a defender. It went well, I played half the game against Les Blues in the middle, it was more difficult."

It's not the first time this season Wass has challenged the coach's opinion. Amongst the praise from Dupraz, there's also been a sharp rebuke after a recent form dip.

"There are no players here who can switch off just because they're being watched by other clubs," he said after a recent defeat to Bordeaux. "If I took off Daniel Wass, it's because I did not feel he was doing enough.

"There's no favourites here. We need everyone to give maximum effort."

But that was before international week and his national team recall. Wass has returned to form, which has reignited the interest of bigger clubs across Europe.

His agents say the Premier League, or even remaining in France with the likes of PSG, are options, but Wass does have one particular club - and coach - he'd love to play for.

"I could never say no to Borussia Dortmund and Jürgen Klopp, even if they're not in the Champions League next season.

"But playing in the Champions League is obviously something I want to do. Of course, who wouldn't?"
