Sweden striker Marcus Berg, who has made headlines with seven goals in four matches during the tournament, says it would be a dream to play in England.

The FC Groningen striker's performances have alerted a number of clubs in the Premier League, with Aston Villa among the clubs rumoured to be interested.

Berg said: "It’s a dream to play in a top league in the world and I think England is one of them so it’s a dream of course."

Berg was named as player of the tournament, receiving a standing ovation from the home supporters at the final on Monday night. He was presented with the trophy by former Sweden striker Henrik Larsson at the post-match press conference.

The former IFK Gothenburg player, who moved to the Dutch outfit for £3.5 million in 2008, scored 17 goals for his club last season and has already played for the Swedish senior national team.
