Axel Witsel England bound?

Axel Witsel announced yesterday that his desire is to leave Russian giants, Zenit St. Petersburg and play for one of the top clubs in the English Premier League. The Belgian who made the move to rich Zenit in August 2012 for a staggering €40 million, signing a five year deal.

An ever present in the Belgian national team, the 24 year old expressed his wish to play for a major club in England.
"Indeed, I hope a big club comes for me", he told Belgian paper Nieuwsblade

Witsel has impressed during his time in Russia with his tough tackling and no nonsense style,but has caused trouble within the Champions League last year where during a match with Standard Leige he broke Marcin Wasilewski's leg with a careless challenge.

A move to the Premier League seems on the cards especially with half of his national side playing in England's top league, would he be a good signing for one of the top eight in England? A move to Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City. With Chelsea and City's wealth and desire to strength in the centre of midfield, do the rest stand much of a chance of landing the Belgian?

Lets see.
