Anderlecht striker Dieumerci Mbokani has snubbed a move to Dynamo Kiev as he holds out for a Premier League switch.

The Congolese frontman held discussions with Kiev officials, but has opted against a transfer to the Ukraine.

He is hoping that an English side will come calling once the summer transfer window swings open.

West Bromwich Albion have been linked with the 27-year-old and Mbokani claims interest in his services is mounting.

He said: "I am still an Anderlecht player. I went to Kiev but could not agree anything with the club.

"They were very kind to me but I can say that I will not play for Dynamo next season. I did not undergo a medical in the Ukraine.

"I said I want to play in England and I can confirm that there is some interest at the moment. Let's relax and see what happens by the end of June."
