Sunderland superkid Joel Asoro calm over PSG, Bayern Munich interest

Sunderland superkid Joel Asoro insists he's not getting carried away with big club interest.

Asoro, 17, featured for Sweden U21 in their 1-1 draw with Spain.

At the game to see the striker in action were scouts from Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, Inter, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Villarreal, Valencia, Lyon and RB Leipzig.

"What should I say as well? It is a good game to play so I'm not surprised if there is some scouts there. It's just my job to perform, everything else will come later," Asoro told TV 12.

Sweden U21 coach Hakan Ericsson said of the teen: "I think, given that it is a debut as a 17-year-old in a U21 game against Spain, he has been fantastic."
