Cisse, in an interview with France Football, said: "It is the English Premiership that attracts me the most, simply because this is where the heart of European football is beating, where it vibrates the most. And I want to experience the atmosphere and the warmth of English stadiums.
"The Premiership is everything for me, the English style attracts me and I think that is the one that corresponds to me the most.
"There are spaces and the game is direct. For a striker like me who is fast, for my profile, this is perfect. I am an instinctive player.
"I spoke about it with Sylvain Wiltord, Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira and it sounds like paradise there."
