The agent of Villarreal striker Giuseppe Rossi has revealed that his client could return to the Premier League next summer.
The 25-year-old, who is expected to be out of action until 2013 with a knee injury, has been strongly linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
"The Premier League clubs? We won't rule anything out. Another operation is planned between September 20 and 25," Federico Pastorello told Sky Sport Italia.
"If everything goes well, then he will go into the third bout of surgery. From that moment it'll take around five months to see him back on the field."
Rossi left Manchester United to join Villarreal in 2007.
