Everton and Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with winger Hirving Lozano.
PSV Eindhoven winger Hirving Lozano has told talkSPORT that he appreciates the interest in his signature from English clubs – and specifically likes Manchester United.
Lozano, 23, joined PSV from Pachuca in his native Mexico in the summer of 2017, and had a dream debut season as he hit 17 goals and eight assists to fire PSV to the Eredivisie title.
The Mexican is in red-hot form again this season, as in just 15 games, he has recorded a stunning nine goals and five assists for Mark van Bommel’s side.
Add in that he terrorised Germany at the World Cup in Russia this past summer, and it seems that the winger is destined for a huge future after a superb 2018.
Unsurprisingly, his exploits in Eindhoven have sparked interest in his signature, with the Liverpool Echo today noting that Everton have an interest; no great surprise given that Marcel Brands, the man who brought Lozano to PSV, is now in charge of transfers at Goodison Park.
The Mirror recently reported that Tottenham Hotspur are keen to land Lozano having been impressed with his Champions League displays this term, and he bagged a goal against Spurs last month.
Now, Lozano has tackled the situation in the aftermath of PSV’s 2-1 Champions League defeat at Spurs last night, admitting that he thinks the interest from Premier League clubs is ‘special’, but he is focused on improving at PSV – and specifically has a fondness for Manchester United.
“It´s nice English papers talk nicely about me. It´s special,” said Lozano. “Personally I say thanks for the nice words. I always try to improve and give something extra. I will keep on improving.“I learn a lot from every manager. Every manager passes on something new. Mark van Bommel had a great career and you must learn from every manager. I liked Manchester United a lot. In Spain my favourite team is Barcelona,” he added.
