Tottenham and Fulham are in the race to sign Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari, according to the player's European representative.

Muntari played on loan at Sunderland earlier this year before returning to Inter. The Ghana international, who is under contract with Inter for a further year, has been strongly linked with a return to England this summer.

"Tottenham and Fulham are several of the Premier League teams that are interested in Muntari,'' Muntari's representative Claudio Mossio told Press Association Sport. "But right now his destination is not unclear. The situation must be resolved as soon as possible because the transfer market ends tomorrow.''

Mossio admitted Muntari's preference is to move to London. "Muntari wants to play in the Premier League,'' he said. "He really likes that tournament and his family would be very happy in London.''

Muntari, 27, joined Inter in the summer of 2008 after one season at Portsmouth.

....expects Inter stay, but would welcome a return to England

Muntari has admitted it is unlikely he will leave Inter Milan before the transfer window closes.

The Ghana international has been linked with moves to Tottenham and Fulham but no concrete bids were forthcoming.

Muntari played under Harry Redknapp for one season at Portsmouth and later joined Inter in the summer of 2008.

Last season he joined Sunderland on loan in the January window but the Black Cats opted against signing him on a permanent deal.

But with just over a day left in the transfer window, the combative midfielder insists it would have to be something dramatic now to prise him from Inter.

"I am an Inter Milan player and I expect to still play with this club this season unless something dramatic happens for me to move in the next 48 hours," he told skysports.com.

Muntari's representative Claudio Mossio has confirmed that there is interest from Premier League clubs, but is urging them to move swiftly if they want to conclude any deals.
