Kjetil Rekdal says Sander Berge is happy at Sheffield United.

The Norway midfielder has been linked with Arsenal this week.

But his former Valerenga coach Rekdal said: "I speak with his agent regularly.

"I am well informed about Sander and what is going on and he is very happy in Sheffield and enjoying his football.

"I met Sander in Stockholm when Sweden played Norway last year. I asked him what is the next step and he said he hopes it's Premier League.

"He's ambitious and he is satisfied, he knows he's playing in the best league in the world.

"It's a great league for Sander. There are no clubs abroad who can match that.

"He has the ability to play for the very best in the Premier League, but he's not ready for that just now.

"He needs to take another step first and gain more experience."
