Ajax midfielder Christian Eriksen has expressed an interest in moving to Italy, according to his agent.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have both enquired about the 20-year-old, who has been lauded as one of Europe's brightest young talents.

Eriksen, who has also been tracked by Barcelona, is currently on international duty with Denmark at the Euro 2012 championships.

However, the player's agent has now revealed that Eriksen would favour a move to Serie A, with Roma said to be leading the chase.

"The boy would rather play in Italy than the Premier League," talkSPORT quotes Martin Schoots as saying. "He has a real love of Italian football and would very much like to play in Italy."

Eriksen made his debut for Ajax in 2010.
