Empoli president Fabrizio Corsi admits there's Premier League interest for young midfielder Riccardo Saponara.

Saponara has been linked with Liverpool and Everton this season.

"Every team likes Saponara, he's destined to be a first choice for many of them," Corsi said.

“But not only in Serie A, because I can tell you that they like him a lot in the Premier League."

Saponara has rebuilt his career at Empoli over the past year after leaving AC Milan.
