The 23-year-old is set to star for Japan at the World Cup this summer in the USA, Mexico and Canada, with the possibility of further raising his profile on the transfer market.

There had already been suggestions he would be sold in January before a serious injury put paid to that, but he is back in action and helped the Ducali secure their top flight status.

Suzuki on Parma future and Premier League

“I don’t know if I will remain at Parma, nobody knows my future right now,” confessed Suzuki to Parma Live during an event today.

“My focus now is only on Parma, that’s all I know. I read some of the rumours about my future, and I think it is a positive thing, as it means if you are playing well, then clubs want to buy you.

“I want to keep putting in better and better performances.”

Suzuki was pressed on the next step of his career and specifically the Premier League interest, where Manchester United are the favourites to make a winning bid.

“I want to play the World Cup, and if I do well then maybe I could make a big step, but I don’t know. I like the Premier League, but I also like playing here and I’m very satisfied playing here.”

The goalkeeper had been out of action from November to the end of February after suffering a fractured bone in his hand.

“It was the first time I had a serious injury, but I was concentrated on what I had to do, and my recovery time was formative, it taught me a lot for the future.

“It was difficult coming back and I made some errors, but I started to feel more comfortable and ready to help the team.”
