The agent of Fiorentina midfielder Adem Ljajic has confirmed interest from England.

Aston Villa and Everton are tracking the Serb.

Giorgio Parretti, his representative, feels that the player would be best served by staying in Italy.

"He is training well but he has managed only two appearances, now let's see what will happen in the next three or four games," Parretti told Tuttomercatoweb.

"The important thing is that we are in tune with club, certainly he won't leave Fiorentina on loan.

"The interest of some English clubs flatters us but I want to keep him in Italy because it is not the most beautiful championship but is the most difficult.

"Also he now has no problems with the Italian language, if I send him to England we have another difficult year."
