Sky Sports understands Salomon Kalou is considering offers from the Middle East as he looks for his next career move.

The 29-year-old former Chelsea forward has been targeted by several clubs in Qatar & UAE in recent weeks but the player remains very keen on a move back to the Premier League, with likes of Arsenal and Liverpool thought to be monitoring his situation.

He also turned down a move to Roma after rejecting their proposal while there are still possibilities with Galatasaray or Fenerbahce.

Lille’s coach René Girard confirmed that the situation will be resolved soon, once Kalou has found a suitor that fits his requirements.

“Salomon has an agreement to leave, but he is not really disturbed,” Girard told L’Equipe.

“He wanted to play the opening match of Ligue 1 against Metz, but I preferred him to go on preparation peacefully.”
