Stephen Appiah in a dicey situation

Ghana midfielder Stephen Appiah fears his dream move to the Premier League may not materialise.

Appiah is a free agent and has been linked with Arsenal and West Ham, while Blackburn recently became the latest English team to be connected with the former Fenerbahce star.

However, the 27-year-old is understood to be requesting a salary in the region of ?60,000-a-week and that is thought to have put a number of clubs off an approach.

And Appiah, who has revealed he has also received interest from Germany, is becoming frustrated that he is unable to secure a new club

"I would like to play in the Premier League, but I don't know," Appiah told skysports.com.

"I also have German clubs interested in me, but we are far apart in financial terms."

But Appiah, who spent two years with Juventus before joining Fenerbahce, remains confident he will soon find a new employer.

"I am still training," he added. "I am keeping my body in shape and I am ready for action.

"I will find a new club very soon."
