Granqvist keen on Wolfsburg switch

FC Groningen defender Andreas Granqvist has declared his interest in a move to newly crowned Bundesliga champions Wolfsburg.

The Swede claims he has been watched by the Wolves, who are reportedly prepared to pay £3million for him.

“I know that the club have watched me play several times,” Granqvist said in Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.

Granqvist, who joined Groningen from English side Wigan Athletic last summer, is under contract with the Eredivisie outfit until 2012.

He added: “At the moment I don’t think there is any concrete interest. But we will see what happens in the coming weeks. If I get the chance to play at a top club like Wolfsburg I would of course grab it.

“It’s my ambition to play for a top team and it’s nice that my name is being mentioned at a club of that stature.

“But playing another season at FC Groningen is no problem for me. I’m having a great time there.”
