Bologna striker Zirkzee staying grounded over Man Utd, Juventus interest

Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee says he's staying grounded over intense transfer speculation.

AC Milan, Juventus and Manchester United are all interested in the Dutchman.

Zirkzee told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “I was given this gift from God that I can play football and I do not want to waste that talent. I am convinced God has a plan for me.

“School was what I enjoyed the least. My creativity comes from playing football in the streets with my friends. That is something precious in the Netherlands, as every quarter has a Cruijff court, just like in America every neighbourhood has a basketball court.

“They looked after us at Bayern, we were a chaotic bunch of adolescents and it was not easy for them to deal with us, but I really was happy there."
