Berg heading for Premier League

Berg heading for Premier League

Marcus Berg will eventually leave Groningen this summer, so says club manager Hans Nijland.

After impressing football scouts during the European Under-21 championships in Sweden, the 22-year-old 'Svarte-Marcus' has attracted interest from two Premier League clubs.

According to Sky Sports News, Nijland has confirmed two Premier League clubs are keen on the striker, who they have already lined up a replacement for.

The promising striker won the Golden Boot award as the tournament's leading scorer with seven goals, after netting a hat-trick in Sweden's opening match against Belarus.

"Soren Lerby, the agent of Marcus Berg, has informed us there is a really serious interest from two clubs in the Premier League," Nijland told the Sunday Mirror.

"We have his replacement already lined up."

Aston Villa and Tottenham are reportedly leading the chase for the striker's services, although Everton have also been credited with an interest.
