HITC Sport understands former AC Milan star wants Premier League move
HITC Sport understands that former AC Milan star Kevin Constant has held talks with half-a-dozen Premier League clubs, who believe he is currently the best free agent available in the world.
The 29-year-old Guinea international has been training with French high-flyers Nice – who have made some high profile signings this summer in the shape of Mario Balotelli and Dante.
Constant, though, has a desire to play in England and he has a number of options, especially given he can play at left back and in midfield.

West Ham – who are in need of cover at left back – are leading the chase, but they know they face major competition for his signature with the likes of Everton, Crystal Palace, Hull City, West Bromwich Albion and Swansea City amongst the other clubs keen on landing him.
French-born Constant began his career with Toulouse before joining Chateauroux, but has spent much of his time playing in Italy. He joined Chievo in 2011 before being snapped up by Genoa from where AC Milan landed him.
After two years in the San Siro, he accepted a big money offer from Turkish side Trabzonspor but he moved back to Serie A with Bologna last season, but he is now a free agent and could very well be on the move to England.
