Palermo confirm Tottenham and Manchester talks for Kjaer

Italian club Palermo have confirmed that a trio of Premier League clubs are showing considerable interest in promising defender Simon Kjaer.

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini admits that it is likely the 21-year old Denmark international will leave Sicily this summer and has revealed that Tottenham, Manchester United and Manchester City are all on his trail along with Germans Wolfsburg whilst Inter Milan, who have shown interest in the past, have made no official enquiries.

"I know of talks with the two Manchester clubs, Tottenham and Wolfsburg," said Zamparini.

"Inter have not called me so I don't know if they're interested.

"When certain offers arrive, it's necessary for the player to leave. A couple of quite important offers have come in. We are discussing them, then I will call the player."
