Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen is open to joining a Premier League club this summer if he is told to leave Camp Nou.

The 29-year-old says there is interest from England, with both Liverpool and Arsenal reportedly keen on the former Ajax goalkeeper.

Nine of Cillessen's 11 appearances for Barcelona last season came in the Copa del Rey which Barcelona won by beating Sevilla 5-0, with a single game in the Champions League and La Liga.

"I think that I played well in the matches I had in the Copa del Rey," Cillessen told Fox Sports. "I need to wait patiently. The only thing I know is that Barcelona won't sell me.

Transfer news and rumours, Wednesday June 6

"Arsenal and Liverpool aren't bad clubs but if Barcelona say, 'We love you', then I'll accept their decision and continue there. I'll wait until we return on the July 16 to see what they've decided.

"I don't know anything. If the club wants to keep me, I'll accept that. I signed a five-year deal with them."

Cillessen only conceded three goals in the 11 games he played for Barcelona.
