Bayern Munich's veteran defender Thomas Linke has revealed that he would like to end his career in the English Premiership if Bayern feel he is surplus to requirements at the Olympic Stadium.

Former German international Linke, 33, is out of contract in the summer but still believes he can perform at the top level for two more seasons.

"I feel fit and want to carry on playing for another two years," Linke told Sport 1.

"In an ideal world I would like to end my career at Bayern.

"But if I do not figure in their plans then I would like to spend a season in England."

Linke, who arrived from Schalke 04 in 1998, is to hold talks with Bayern during the four-week winter break.
