Inter Milan midfielder Alfred Duncan has admitted he is "flattered" to be linked with a move to Premier League side Sunderland. Duncan is regarded as one of Ghana's most promising young players and has been compared Chelsea's Michael Essien. A move to the Stadium of Light has been mooted this summer, and the 20-year-old is aware of the reported interest from Wearside. Duncan said: "I am flattered by the interest of Sunderland. I know the scout of Sunderland has been watching me. "To be honest, though, nothing has been done and Inter will have a big say if I leave Inter or not. "Fans compare me with Essien and if I can have half of his career I will be very happy. "He is the best midfielder ever in Ghana. He played box-to-box, could break play up and could dictate play at the same time."
