Napoli attacker Dries Mertens open to Premier League move

Napoli attacker Dries Mertens is open to a future move to England.

The Belgium international was linked with Manchester United last season.

When pressed by Sky Sports over his future, the winger refused to confirm whether he would be plying his trade at Old Trafford in the coming months.

“I'm happy in Italy and I'm fine at Napoli, but maybe in the future I could come to England," Mertens said.

Mertens recently got a taste of English football when featuring against Manchester City in the Champions League.

“They're not unstoppable because the game at home we played really good and we had chances to make it 3-2 and we didn't score them and two seconds later they scored to make it 3-2," Mertens added.

“That was a bummer but I think they have a very good team, it's working, they're doing really good but like every team, it's going to stop one day."
