PSV striker Jurgen Locadia has admitted he dreams of a transfer to Manchester United and has a plan in mind to work his way up to the Premier League giants.

The 23-year-old, who can also play out wide, has long been considered a top talent in Dutch football, and has a strong record of 53 goals in 160 appearances for his current club.

Speaking about his ambitions, Locadia admits he’d love to play for United, and thinks he can do so if he follows in the footsteps of former team-mate Georginio Wijnaldum.

The Netherlands Under-21 international admits he could play for a smaller club in England before finally getting his ‘dream’ transfer to Old Trafford.

‘Manchester United is my dream, but via an intermediate step,’ he said.

‘I like the path Georginio Wijnaldum has walked, from Newcastle United to Liverpool.’

Wijnaldum spent one season with Newcastle after leaving PSV, and his fine form in the Premier League saw him move to Anfield for around £25million.

It remains to be seen if United are interested in Locadia, but the youngster is the holder of an impressive record, when in 2012 he became the first player since all the way back in 1969 to score a hat-trick on his Eredivisie debut.
