South Korea's Lee Chung-yong has not considered leaving English Premier League club Bolton Wanderers to cash in on his impressive World Cup campaign but would like to play in the Champions League one day.

The 22-year-old midfielder scored twice for his country as they reached the World Cup second round for the first time on foreign soil in South Africa and has been linked with a move across Lancashire as part of Liverpool's rebuilding programme.   

"There's still much for me to learn in Bolton, so I haven't given any serious thought to the matter of a transfer," he told the Yonhap news agency before leaving for England on Sunday.          

Lee's flair and five goals made him a firm favourite in the first season of his three-year deal with Bolton but the winger said he would like to play for a bigger club eventually.

"As I do my best to work with what's given to me, chances will come and I will take them," he added.                                           

"Money is important, and it'd be good to play for a big team like one in the Champions League, but most of all I want to go where I can develop myself."
