Posted Wednesday, November 28, 2012 by Talksport.co.uk
Kevin Strootman’s agent has confirmed Manchester United have enquired about the Dutch star – and revealed the PSV Eindhoven midfielder has set his sights on a move to the Premier League.
The 22-year-old is one of the hottest properties in Europe right now and has been watched by a string of leading clubs.
Reports in Holland suggested Strootman was likely to make a move during the January transfer window, but talkSPORT have been told by his agent, Chiel Dekker, that the Dutch international would prefer a summer switch to England.
Dekker told talkSPORT: “All the top clubs in Europe know about Kevin, but a move to England next summer is his first priority and, yes, Manchester United and other big clubs in Europe have been in touch with me.”
PSV coach Dick Advocaat admitted earlier this week it’s a matter of when, not if, Strootman moves to one of Europe’s elite clubs.
Advocaat has already lined up Oscar Hiljemark from Swedish champions Elsfburg as a replacement.
