Gothenburg midfielder Gustav Svensson has revealed he is being tracked by clubs in several countries including England.

Fulham are understood to be monitoring the 22-year-old, who is also capable of playing in defence and has already made his international debut for Sweden.

Ajax have been heavily linked with a move for Svensson as well, while Monaco are the latest side to reportedly enter the chase.

"I know that they are a little interested," Svensson told Eurosport.se, referring to Monaco. "It's a beautiful town by the French Riviera.

"There are clubs in different countries that have shown interest. Clubs in Italy, Spain, England, France and Holland."

Svensson accepts that he is a long way from securing a move away from Gothenburg but is happy to have attracted so much attention.

"There are eight or nine clubs that are interested," he explained.

"I know there is a big step from being interested and placing a bid. But it could have been worse.

"But like I've said earlier it's important that it is the right club that places a bid, a good club that I like.

"I like it at Blavitt (Gothenburg) and can stay another year without any problems."
