Free agent Fabio Borini admits he's determined to land a contract in England.

Borini asked both Everton and Liverpool if he could use their training facilities while a free agent this summer.

Borini is based in Liverpool alongside his wife and has been linked with a return to Swansea City.

The former Liverpool striker told Gazzetta dello Sport: “I tried to ask Liverpool, I knew it could be a problem for the Reds, I also asked Everton for availability, a little for the past, a little for the security bubble that no one other than staff and players can attend.

“It was not possible; under normal conditions I would have trained differently."
