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.
