Every Premier League player considers China – Mignolet

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet claims the financial lure of moving to China is the talk of Premier League dressing rooms up and down the country.

With plenty of Premier League stars being lured to the Far East already, the astronomical wages on offer make the lure of moving to the Far East genuinely appealing.

But while Jamie Carragher and other pundits alike scoff at players for ‘selling themselves out’ by moving to China, Mignolet claims any player who insists they’re not interested in the move would be a liar.

Mignolet told the Sunday Mirror: “You would be a hypocrite to say we don’t speak about it because it’s a big topic. Everybody’s speaking about it.

“You see the money and of course you talk about it.

“I’m a keeper and I don’t think they want any keepers.

“I know the next question is would you go to China – and the only answer you can give is that you don’t know unless you get an actual proposal.

“You can’t weigh up the pros and cons until you actually receive an offer.”
