The agent of Sampdoria midfielder Pedro Obiang admits English clubs are following the Spanish youngster.

Manchester City, Tottenham and Chelsea are all keen on Obiang.

"Honestly, we have not received any calls," Jose Miguel Gonzalez told Calciomercato.it.

"At the moment there is nothing, it is still early. A transfer in January? I do not think it is possible, it is easier in June.

"We know that several teams are following him and some scouts from England and Spain saw him [during the recent 2-2 draw] at Fiorentina, but there is nothing concrete so it is needless to name names."
