The 31-year-old striker has been linked with a move back to the Premier League in the summer after four years away.
However, the Mali international said: “I enjoyed playing football a lot in England, but I was a bit tired.”
Kanout� first came to England in 2000, joining West Ham from French club Lyon - he then went on to score 29 goals in 84 appearances for the east London club.

Spurs then bought the French-born striker at the end of the 2002/3 season where he enjoyed mixed success over a two year period.
Despite scoring 14 goals in a Spurs shirt and showing occasional flashes of brilliance, Kanout� - nicknamed Fredi - chose to play in the African Cup of Nations over the Premier League and went AWOL from Tottenham's summer tour to Mauritius in 2005.
