Ghana international, Sammy Osei Kuffour could be playing in the Barclays Premiership this season after revealing that he has offers to play in England. Kuffour is available on a free transfer after he left Ajax at the end of the season when they decided not to extend his stay, following a January move from Roma.

The 32-year-old defender now has a host of offers coming in with rumours suggesting Stoke and Newcastle could be the Premier League clubs keen on him.

Italian outfit Bologna have offered him a one-year deal, but there is more strong interest from the Middle East and Germany in the former Bayern Munich stopper.

"I am a free agent and I have many contacts, even in the Premier League there are two teams after me," he told skysports.com.

"There are also a couple in the Bundesliga, a league I know well. "But we will see, Bologna are a good team so we will wait and see."
