Red Bull Salzburg forward Erling Haaland is keen to play in the Premier League, according to father and former player Alf-Inge Haaland.

Alf-Inge Haaland has confirmed that son and Red Bull Salzburg forward Erling Haaland is open to a move to the Premier League.

Having starred in the Champions League this season, the 19-year-old will almost certainly move to a bigger club during the summer transfer window.

A number of teams, including Manchester United, are said to be monitoring the situation, and former Manchester City and Leeds United man Alf-Inge has tipped Erling to move to England's top flight.

The ex-midfielder told talkSPORT: "He was a Leeds fan and a City fan and a Nottingham Forest fan – he followed me obviously, but that is what you do in your youth.

"It is different being a supporter and having a job, but he was born in Leeds. At one stage he would like to play in the Premier League, but when that will happen, I don't know. It is a very tough league.

"Up to now he is ahead of the stage we thought he would be at. He is built for the Premier League, but whether that will happen now or at a later stage, we don't know. He is at Red Bull, a fantastic club playing Champions League so in a way he is in no hurry."

Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus are also said to hold an interest in the Norway international.
