Robert Lewandowski wanted to know more about the Premier League from new Poland team-mate and Aston Villa defender Matty Cash, having long been linked with a transfer to the English top flight

Robert Lewandowski is reportedly keen to learn more about Premier League amid reports of a potential transfer to an English club.

The Bayern Munich hitman has often been linked with a move away from Germany, and Manchester City and Chelsea have most recently been tagged as interested.

Lewandowski was eager hear about the league from new Poland team-mate Matty Cash during the international break, according to The Athletic.

The Aston Villa right-back recently joined up with Paulo Sousa' s side for the first time after his switch of allegiance.

It is stated that the 33-year-old, who is among the favourites to win the Ballon d'Or later this month, took Cash aside for a 30-minute chat upon his arrival, quizzing him about the division.

Their conversation comes off the back of City manager Pep Guardiola bumping into Lewandowski last week, with Poland preparing to face Andorra at a training camp in Spain.

Guardiola, there to visit his brother who partially owns Girona, coached the striker in Munich and has described him as 'the most professional player he has ever worked with.'

Before Chelsea's capture of Romelu Lukaku, the Blues were believed to be looking at Lewandowski.

And following Lukaku's return to Stamford Bridge, a report emerged outlining the Poland captain's desire for a new challenge.

However, Bayern are set to begin talks over a fresh contract in the new year, with their prolific No.9 currently tied down until June 2023.

Having broken countless records in recent years, including the late Gerd Muller 's 40-goal Bundesliga haul which stood for 39 years, Lewandowski is targeting a first Ballon d'Or triumph on November 29.

Some have suggested he would benefit from proving his prowess in the Premier League, although the master marksman thinks otherwise.

When Lewandowski collected the coveted European Golden Shoe trophy in September for his supreme 41 league goals last term, he affirmed: "I don't have to prove myself in another league.

"I can compete with the best from other leagues in the Champions League.

"I am 100 per cent focused on Bayern Munich, I don't think about anything else but my team."

The aforementioned World Cup qualifying match against Andorra was Cash's debut for Poland, coming off the bench in the second half as Lewandowski bagged a brace.

His two goals made it 28 strikes in 23 games for club and country this season, but Sousa rested his skipper for their final qualification bout against Hungary on Monday.

The White and Red lost in Warsaw and are now unseeded for the World Cup play-offs.

They could face Scotland and Wales in March, with the draw set to take place at 4pm on Friday, November 26.
