Premier League Powerhouses Join Race For Groningen Hitman Marcus Berg – Report

The Sweden Under-21 star's excellent performances haven't gone unnoticed in Europe...

Marcus Berg, FC Groningen - Heracles Almelo
Eredivisie outfit Groningen are desperate to keep hold of star player Marcus Berg, however, it appears very unlikely that the Swedish international will still ply his trade in the Netherlands next term.

The 22-year-old has already been linked with Ajax, AZ, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Fiorentina, Lazio and Villarreal in the past couple of weeks and Berg has now also attracted the interest of the English top four.

The striker netted a hat-trick in Sweden Under-21s’ 5-1 win against Belarus on Tuesday evening and this hasn't gone unnoticed in England.

According to a report in Swedish newspaper FotbollsExpressen, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United were all impressed with what they saw last night.

The striker's current Groningen deal is due to expire in the summer of 2011, but the Dutch outfit could be tempted to cash in on their star player for €13 million.
