JOHN GUIDETTI is being pursued by three Barclays Premier League clubs, according to reports.
The Swede, who spent last season on loan at Celtic, is set to become a free agent once his contract at Manchester City expires and is thought to favour staying in England rather than signing a permanent deal with the Scottish champions.
According to TalkSport, Everton and newly-promoted sides Watford and Norwich City have all expressed an interest in signing the 23 year-old who scored 15 goals for Celtic last season.
Guidetti also believes playing in Scotland hampered his international prospects. The forward told Swedish media that there weren't enough "big games" for him to impress in.
He said: "I was taken out of the national team after scoring I think it was 11 goals in 10 matches but I did not play.
"Then I understood. It felt like my goals at Celtic were not counted in the same way as in other leagues and I can understand. We played Inter and the stadium was packed. It was the most magical atmosphere I have experienced. But there are too few big games in Celtic.
"So I felt that my goals were not counted in the same way as in another league. There are too few 'big games'."
