Montpellier defender Emir Spahic has said he will ‘almost certainly’ leave in the summer and is hoping to land himself a club in England.

The 30-year-old Bosnian defender has missed 14 games this season through suspension and has not had the best of times since moving from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2009. The experienced defender believes it is time to cut his losses in France and move on.

“I will leave France this summer because it has become difficult to stay,” he told Le Parisien.

“Even though I am a professional under contract at Montpellier, where people are supporting me, I will be playing in a different country next season.

“My preference would be England, but there have been other contacts.”
