"The Feyenoord president has informed me of a new approach from last year's European champions," Kuyt was quoted as saying in The Independent on Wednesday.

"I am happy at Feyenoord but would like to play in the Premier League."

Nevertheless, the Dutchman, who was named in Holland's squad for the World Cup and is under contract until 2009 with Feyenoord, insisted that he wasn’t going to hold high-hopes for the move.

"Last year that was close to happening so for now I prefer to concentrate

only on the World Cup because my hopes could be soured again," Kuyt insisted.

Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool revealed that they were interested in signing the inspiring striker but with no results, the same with Everton who failed to tie him down with a £10m bid.

"It is out of my hands. I have several opportunities but it is now down to Feyenoord," Kuyt said.

On the other hand, Kuyt, who scored 71 goals in 101 games for Feyenoord, was quoted as saying that he was interested in a move for Newcastle United, and boss Glenn Roeder admitted that he was interested in the him and revealed that he had plans to observe him during the World Cup.
