Philadelphia Union's Mwanga attracting interest from Europe

Philadelphia Union teenage star Danny Mwanga is attracting plenty of interest from clubs in Europe according to reports.

The 19-year old DR Congo striker has just completed his rookie MLS season, scoring seven goals in 24 matches for the Union, and his performances have not been lost on a host of European clubs.

English Premier League's Blackburn Rovers and French duo Auxerre and Lille have all shown considerable interest with unnamed clubs in Germany also believed to be keen.

It is believed that Mwanga has dreams of playing in France but it seems highly likely that he will remain in MLS in 2011 to further his development.
