Tottenham and Aston Villa have been strongly linked with the Swedish striker Marcus Berg, and today his manager has told Soccerway that he is expected to move to the Premier League.
The report said: Groningen manager Hans Nijland has conceded he expects highly-rated striker Marcus Berg to leave for the Premier League this summer.
The 22-year-old is wanted by two Premier League clubs, believed to be Tottenham and Aston Villa, after impressing for Sweden in the European Under-21 Championship in his homeland.
The promising striker won the Golden Boot as the tournament’s leading scorer with seven goals, after netting a hat-trick in Sweden’s opening match against Belarus and scoring twice against England.
“Soren Lerby, the agent of Marcus Berg, has informed us there is a really serious interest from two clubs in the Premier League,” explained Nijland.
“We have his replacement already lined up.”
Villa and Spurs are reportedly leading the chase for the striker’s services, although Everton have also been credited with an interest.
That is good news for the Premiership, whoever gets him in the end. Would Tottenham and Everton fans be happy to see him in their team?
