According to The Athletic, Aston Villa are among the clubs closely following Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge.
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are also reported to be interested in securing the services of the 23-year-old midfielder this summer.

Berge has has injury problems, and the 23-year-old has not made the impact at the Blades that he would have expected to.
However, when the Norway international midfielder has played, he has done well.
According to WhoScored, the 23-year-old has made 12 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for the Blades this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process.
The midfielder made 12 starts and two substitute appearances in the league for United last season following his move from Genk, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.
Arsenal assistant manager Albert Stuivenberg signed Berge for Genk in 2017, and talkSPORT quoted him as saying about him: “He is already very mature. He is intelligent, reads the game well, and takes the initiative. He has the potential to become a future leader.”
With United having been relegated to the Championship, it is hard to see them keep hold of Berge beyond the summer.
Berge would make Villa stronger in the middle of the park and would be another good option for manager Dean Smith.
