A leading British daily says national soccer striker Cho Jae-jin is one of six World Cup players who are likely to receive offers from the English Premier League.

The Guardian on Friday called Cho "a colossus in the air" in naming him to the list along with Spain's Fernando Torres and France's Franck Ribéry.

The report said Cho plays like a traditional English center forward, comparing him to former English star Alan Shearer in skills.
