Prem duo chase Serbian startlet

Arsenal and Manchester United look set to battle it out over the signing of Torino youngster Alen Stevanovic, with the duo keen on bringing the youngster to England.

The 21-year-old midfielder has been in excellent form for the Serie B form, making over 30 appearances and scoring three goals since signing from Inter Milan in 2010.

Stevanovic has attracted interest from a number of Europe’s big clubs in recent months, but the player confirmed he is in favour of a move to the Premier League.

The young midfielder made his debut on the international stage back in 2010, but has failed to build on his one Serbia U-21 cap.

His versatility is believed to have caught the eye of Gunners boss Arsene Wenger and United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, with both determined to strengthen their respective midfield in the summer.

And Stevanovic, despite his relatively low stats, has been instrumental in the Italian side’s push up the table as they look to secure promotion back into Serie A.
