Krystian Bielik being chased by 'big clubs,' says Henning Berg

Arsenal target Krystian Bielik is attracting interest from "half of Europe," according to Legia Warsaw manager Henning Berg.

The Gunners face competition from the likes of Hamburg for the 17-year-old's signature, with Legia reportedly seeking a fee in the region of two million pounds.

Berg is not surprised by the growing interest in the defensive midfielder, but would prefer that he remains with the Polish club.

Former Manchester United defender Berg said on Legia's Twitter account: "Bielik is in comfortable situation, big clubs are interested in him. Not long ago nobody knew him and now half of Europe want him.

Berg said on Sky Sports: "We do understand that of course other clubs might be interested in him.

"But that is normal when you have big talents and good players -- there will be other clubs who are interested.

"What he will do we don't know yet, but to stay at Legia would be a very good option for him."

The Legia boss added: "He's a physical player with good skills. He has very good understand of the game and match mentality. Krystian is quite far ahead of other players at his age."
