Flemming feels 'pure excitement' for Liverpool game

[Getty Images] New Ipswich signing Zian Flemming says he is feeling "joy and excitement" to experience the Premier League again with Ipswich Town. Flemming could make his debut for the Tractor Boys in Friday night's visit of Liverpool after his £20m move from Burnley on deadline day. The 28-year-old striker scored 11 league goals for the Clarets last season, but could not help them avoid relegation in what has been his only English top-flight campaign so far. "For me it's just pure excitement I would say," Flemming told media on Thursday. "This move for me to go back to the Premier League - I'm happy with that. "When the move was getting closer and I really looked at the schedule and realised we were playing Liverpool on Friday I thought, 'yeah, I'm really back in the Prem!'. "That's what you want, to play against the best teams and best players. That's what gave me so much joy and excitement last year, to be able to measure yourself against the very best and have them push you to the next level. I can't wait to do that again and experience that again. "I just get a sensation of excitement for challenges. Whether it's a personal or a team challenge it brings something to life inside of me to take it on. Last season I managed to come out on top of the personal challenge to become a Premier League player but lost out on the team challenge and stay in the league. "I'd like to be at the bottom of the mountain and look up and wonder what it is like at the top. Then, get my head down and see how far I can get and see whether I can reach the top."
