The Cameroon midfielder is desperate for first team football after being sidelined in Jose Mourinho's first season in charge.

"I would prefer to leave and the option of Middlesbrough is excellent because I have great memories of my time there."
The 26-year-old fears for his international future.
"Mourinho is not giving me opportunities and I do not like being on the bench," he added.
Geremi played in the 3-1 FA Cup 3rd Round victory against Scunthorpe United on Saturday.
