Ghanaian midfielder MICHAEL ESSIEN has no intention of returning to the Premier League after Leicester City were reported to be interested in the AC Milan player and instead will opt for the American MLS.
Former Chelsea ace Essien, who joined Italian giants Milan 12 months ago, is available to discuss a move away from the San Siro.
He has offers from both Leicester City to come back to England, while West Brom are reportedly interested in the defensive midfielder.
But Italian newspaper Gazzetta dell Sport claim the 32-year-old will snub the Premier League for Major League Soccer.
Dallas are favourites to land Essien, who boasts two Premier League titles and four FA Cup winners medals from his eight seasons at Chelsea.
As for Leicester and Burley, the two clubs must act fast to find a replacement target for Essien as the January transfer window nears its conclusion.
