The midfielder is in this country ahead of AC Milan's UEFA Cup tie with Portsmouth at Fratton Park tomorrow night.

The 26-year-old is recognised as one of the best players in the game and won the 2007 World Footballer of the Year award.

Now the Brasilia-born player has admitted he would like to play in Britain, telling Sky Sports News: "I know it is the best league in the world.

"So one day, maybe - I don't know when but it would be great to play in the Premier League."

Manchester City have become one of the most high-profile clubs following their summer takeover and subsequent capture of Robinho, and Kaka admits he has taken an interest in matters at Eastlands since his fellow Brazilian's move to England.

"I have a lot of friends who are playing there so I am watching some games," he added.

"I speak with Robinho sometimes about Manchester City."
