Lisandro Lopez could be heading for the Premier League this summer, according to his agent Fernando Hidalgo. Hidalgo has confirmed that he has already been approached by a number of clubs from around Europe for the Porto striker's services. The 26-year-old has scored eight goals this season in the Portuguese championship but it is his form in the UEFA Champions League which has made scouts across Europe sit up and take note. The Argentinean grabbed six goals in Europe this term as he helped Porto reach the quarter-final stage. "It is certain that some clubs are interested in Europe. I have transmitted the subject to Porto and now we wait for their decision," he told Radio Renaiscensa. Big clubs Porto are likely to demand around £16million for the player with his contract not running out until June 2011. Despite admitting interest Hidalgo refused to name the clubs that had allegedly approached him, although Manchester City have been linked. "They are big clubs and that is normal because Lisandro has had a sensational season in Portugal and the Champions League," he added.
