The Great Britain star Luol Deng can expect his services to be in demand by Europe's biggest clubs after he admitted he is ready to leave America.

With the NBA embroiled in a labour dispute, the Chicago Bulls forward has been sidelined since mid-September.

"I've always wanted to play in Europe," he said.
