Olssons Twin Looking To Move To England

Last updated : 26 July 2010 By BBC Sport

He has attracted interest from German and Dutch clubs this summer but says he would prefer a move to England.

The 22-year-old told BBC Sport: "Martin and I possess the same physical assets so I think I would adapt pretty fast to the intensity of the English style."

Martin Olsson, who joined Rovers from Hogaborgs in 2006, gained rave reviews last season after converting from left-back to the left of midfield and also made his senior debut for Sweden in June.

He signed a new five-year deal at Ewood Park in June and Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce told his club's website: "Martin was outstanding last season, a young player who came in and made a magnificent contribution."

Marcus feels he could make a similar impression, adding: "I've been inspired by Martin's progress. I'm more of an attacking player and like to run at defenders but, while he has improved his offensive play, I have improved the defensive side of my game.

"We play in different positions but I am proud of how he has established himself at Blackburn. I might go to another country first but my goal is to play in the Premier League."

His agent, former Sheffield United defender Jonas Wirmola, added: "Teams from Holland and the Bundesliga called earlier this year with concrete interest but a move to England is Marcus's priority."
