PSV Eindhoven youngster Zakaria Bakkali is attracting interest from Premier League duo Liverpool and Arsenal, as well as La Liga giants Real Madrid.
The Belgium striker is stalling over signing a new contract in Holland, and after numerous reports have broken out claiming that three giant clubs in world football are chasing his signature, the 18-year-old may be set to leave PSV in the Summer.
According to reports, Liverpool are the club leading the race for Bakkali, but his current employers are trying to persuade his agent to stay for a few more years as it would be good for his development as a player, rather than join an elite club at such a young age.
Despite being highly-rated, PSV have only started Bakkali seven times this season in the league and on a few of those appearances, there have been Liverpool scouts in the crowd monitoring his performances.
However, it was claimed by an unnamed PSV source that Arsene Wenger is highly interested in the 18-year-old as well.
“Bakkali is a player that Wenger rates highly.
“Arsenal have kept an eye on him and are aware that other teams want him, so could move in the summer to buy him.”
