Bernard Tekpetey has reiterated that he is aiming at playing in the top five European leagues in the coming transfer windows.
The Ghana forward has been a livewire for Bulgarian side, Ludogorets Ragrad since joining them from Bundesliga side, Schalke in 2021.
Tekpetey has scored 24 goals and provided 26 assists in 109 appearances.
In an interview, the experienced forward declared his intention to return to one of Europe’s top five leagues having played in the Bundesliga with Schalke.
“The club [Ludogorets] is trying to do everything for me to be happy and stay and for me, I am trying to be patient because I have a lot of offers but it’s not on my side [to decide],” he told Joy Sports.
“We will see what will happen in the next four months or the next window. For sure, I want to have a new challenge.”
“I want to see myself playing in England or any of the top five leagues, even if it is to go back to Germany.”
He also added that he grew up supporting Manchester United and had Luis Nani as his mentor.
“When I was young, I was a [Manchester] United fan but that doesn’t mean if a club like Arsenal or Tottenham come calling, I won’t go,” he continued.
“When Nani was playing there, that is when I started supporting United because I was learning a lot there. I looked up to him, the way he played, his speed and how he used both feet. I had his videos and that is how I have improved as well.”
