La Liga star's agent confirms interest from Premier League club
JAN OBLAK is attracting interest from at least one Premier League club, according to his agent.
Jan Oblak's INCREDIBLE save against Tottenham
The Atletico Madrid goalkeeper's fine displays in La Liga have alerted a host of clubs to making a potential move this summer.
Manchester United have been linked with making a £40million move for the Slovenian as a replacement for David de Gea should he join Real Madrid.
With Chelsea's No1 Thibaut Courtois also in the Bernabeu outfit's sights, the Blues are also said to be monitoring Oblak's progress.
Goal also claim Arsenal and Manchester City have been credited with interest with both clubs keen to strengthen their goalkeeping options.

Yes, one insurance is from the United Kingdom
With Petr Cech 34 years of age and David Ospina set to leave the club, Arsene Wenger is in need of a new shot-stopper.
Meanwhile at Manchester City, Pep Guardiola is yet to be convinced by Claudio Bravo and Willy Caballero as the club's future No1.
And Oblak's agent, Miha Mlakar, admits the 24-year-old could have plenty of options in the summer.
"It's too early because there are still games at the national championships, but it's true that, as I've always said, there is a lot of interest in the best goalkeeper in the world," Mlakar told Goal.
Jan Oblak is under contract with Atletico Madrid until 2021
"Especially two clubs are really interested in Oblak for next season.
"Yes, one insurance is from the United Kingdom."
But he ruled out any serious interest from Italy, adding: "Please, is this a serious question?
"In Italy only Juventus are at a top level and they have Buffon, who is now in the Champions League final, and if you ask me, he can play without a problem for more years."
Oblak remains under contract with Atletico until 2021.
