The race is on to sign Morten Gamst Pedersen and the top-five clubs in England want him, according to his agent.
The Blackburn Rovers winger has been linked with a number of clubs in recent months following a great run of form.
The 25-year-old is reported to have a release clause in his contract, which looks to make Pedersen a very tempting target.
Now his agent Rune Hauge has stated that Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham all have an interest in his charge and admits contacts have been made.
"All the big five follow Morten's situation." confirmed agent Rune Hauge to Dagbladet.
"We are in contact with the clubs. Morten plays in a special position on the left and can play as well both in 4-3-3 and 4-4-2."
"The big ones might not have space for players of his type and we might see players in that position leave some of the clubs the coming weeks."
Hauge's quotes are unlikely to sit too well at Ewood Park, with manager Mark Hughes stating earlier this summer that he had no intention of letting Pedersen leave.
