HITC Sport understands Premier League and Championship clubs chase Palermo star.
A number of Premier League and Championship clubs are lining up moves for Palermo midfielder Oscar Hiljemark, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
The Sweden international has caught the eye at Palermo since joining from PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 2015.
Hiljemark was an ever-present for Palermo in his debut season and he was instrumental in helping them secure survival in Serie A last term.
The 24-year-old attracted the interest of a number of Premier League clubs last January with the likes of Everton, Southampton, Watford and Norwich City all admirers of Hiljemark, but Palermo managed to keep hold of the Swede.
Hiljemark’s English suitors have continued to keep tabs on the all-action midfielder with the player seen as having the ideal attributes to be a success in English football.
Several clubs across Europe are understood to have expressed an interest in signing Hiljemark during this month’s transfer window, but the player is thought to favour a move to England if he does leave Palermo.
Palermo are reluctant to lose Hiljemark this month, but are bracing themselves for offers for the Swede.
