Inter Milan midfielder Alfred Duncan has admitted that he is flattered by the recent links to Premier League side Sunderland, according to Sky Sports.
The highly rated 20-year-old is regarded as one of Ghana’s brightest hopes and has often been compared to Michael Essien. He has made just three appearances for the Nerazzuri but has impressed during a season long loan spell with Serie B side Livorno where he helped them return to the top flight.
And though he declined to indicate a preference, he did confess that attracting the interest of a Premier League club is very flattering.
“I am flattered by the interest of Sunderland. I know the scout of Sunderland has been watching me.
“To be honest, though, nothing has been done and Inter will have a big say if I leave Inter or not.
“Fans compare me with Essien and if I can have half of his career I will be very happy.
“He is the best midfielder ever in Ghana. He played box-to-box, could break play up and could dictate play at the same time.”
Duncan made 23 appearances for Livorno this season and managed to get himself on the scoresheet twice.
