Premier League clubs join Huntelaar pursuit

(GSM) – Klaas-Jan Huntelaar’s agent, Arnold Oosterveer, has revealed that Premier League clubs are keen on signing the Milan striker, amid reports Everton have opened talks with Serie A giants.

The Dutch international has expressed a wish to leave the San Siro on loan in order to boost his prospects of securing a spot in his country’s World Cup squad as he has struggled to make an impact at Milan.

Huntelaar arrived at San Siro from Real Madrid last summer and is now being linked with a move to England.

West Ham United are reported to have turned to the former Ajax ace after failing to persuade his compatriot Ruud van Nistelrooy to move to Upton Park from Real.

However, reports in Holland claim that Everton are ready to open talks with Milan regarding a deal to take Huntelaar to Goodison Park for the rest of the season.

Oosterveer did not wish to name the clubs keen on the 26-year-old, but acknowledged there is English interest in the forward.

“It is right that there are several English clubs interested in the player,” Oosterveer told De Telegraaf.

“For the respect of the club I don’t want to mention any names.”
