Premier League goalkeepers beware, John Arne Riise wants to come back and ruin your lives.

The legendary Liverpool full back famously had one of the deadliest left feet in the world when he wore the red jersey for seven years.

Riise, who’s recently finished his spell with Indian Super League outfit Delhi Dynamos, has claimed that he’s considering his options going forward.

“I am free and I will see where I end up next,” Riise told the Liverpool Echo.

“I’m 35 but age is just a number. It all depends how you look after your body. In my head I’m still 18!

“Physically, I feel strong and I want to play on until I’m 40. I think it’s still too soon to go back to Norway and play. I still have a lot to offer on the pitch.”

The fact that he’s in the Autumn of his career hasn’t done anything to hinder Riise’s confidence and the former Norway international has hinted that he feels he could still do a job in the Premier League judging by the standard set by certain players.

“It just has to be the right offer for me and my family,” he continued. “If the right offer doesn’t come along then there are lot of other things I can do like TV work.

“I’d love to play in England again. That would be ideal in this window. I’ve had a few offers from different places but I would love to come back to England.

“What level? It all depends. I see some players playing in the Premier League currently who shouldn’t be there.”
