Lille defender Sven Botman admits he would be 'lying' if he said interest from big clubs did not tempt him, opening the door to moves to Manchester United and Liverpool this summer

In-demand Lille stalwart Sven Botman has admitted he would be 'lying' if he said the interest in him from some of Europe's biggest clubs was not a tempting proposition.

Botman, 21, was heavily tipped to join Liverpool in January in the midst of the centre back injury crisis at Anfield but instead remained in France.

Reports linking him with moves away have continued to mount, however, and Botman says he plans to 'see what happens next' after enjoying his summer break.
