Denzel Dumfries says that he is happy at Inter Milan, but “could do well in the Premier League as well.”

The Dutchman spoke to reporters ahead of his national team’s match against Lithuania, via FCInterNews. He also gave his thoughts on Nerazzurri coach Cristian Chivu.

Denzel Dumfries is now in his fifth season as an Inter player.

The Netherlands international joined the Nerazzurri from PSV in the summer of 2021.

Since that time, Dumfries has become more and more important to Inter.

Last season, the 29-year-old really found his best form for the Nerazzurri. He was among their top scorers, and put in a particularly outstanding performances across two legs against Barcelona in the Champions League.

This even earned Dumfries a nomination for the Ballon d’Or.

Dumfries gave his thoughts on the difference between playing in Serie A and the Premier League.

“The Premier League is a fantastic league, but right now I play in Serie A,” he said.

“But if the opportunity [to play in the Premier League] were to present itself, I’d jump at it.

“I’m happy at Inter,” Dumfries continued. “I’m happy at Inter, but I think I could do well in the Premier League as well.”

“I’d definitely be interested in it,” the Dutchman said. “The Premier League is known for its intensity, while Serie A is one of the top leagues in terms of tactical level.”

“They’re different approaches to football. But the Champions League always offers exciting matches.”

Then, Dumfries spoke about Inter coach Cristian Chivu. “He played for Ajax,” said the 29-year-old. “We obviously talked about it.”

“How the Dutch style of play is different from the Italian one.”

“But his ideas are always very clear. And he has very clear ideas about what he wants.”

“This isn’t anything new to me,” said Dumfries. “And it’s nice that we both know the Dutch school of football.”
