According to Calciomercato, as translated by Sport Witness, Dejan Kulusevski’s agent has confirmed that the playmaker is being ‘followed by several Premier League clubs’, amid reported interest from Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.
The youngster has been in fine form for Parma this season and has impressed during his loan spell away from Atalanta.
From 18 appearances this term, Kulusevski has found the back of the net four times. He has also contributed with six assists.
Stefano Sam, who represents the Sweden international, discussed the apparent interest from Manchester United in his client. While there was no mention of Southampton’s admiration of the player, he confirmed that Premier League clubs are circling.
The agent said:
The boy’s dream is to play in a great team, but it’s everyone’s dream.
What Dejan wants is a great leap, reasoned and studied, putting all the parties together.
He is followed by several Premier League clubs; he could have left this summer too.
Read Southampton’s verdict
Kulusevski is a marvellous young player who has an incredibly bright future. Sadly, he’s going to have far more lucrative destinations to choose from than Southampton.
Capable of playing in the hole or out wide, the 19-year-old has shown plenty of promise during his breakthrough season in Serie A.
It’s no surprise that prestigious clubs are in the hunt for his signature, and it could be time for Saints to move on to more realistic transfer targets ahead of the turn of the year.
