According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool are keeping an eye on Bayern Munich wonderkid Jamal Musiala, while Manchester City and Manchester United are too.

The 17-year-old – who Bayern Munich poached from Chelsea – only has 18 months left on his contract at the Allianz Arena.

However, the Bavarians are keen to reward him for his breakthrough campaign by offering a new deal worth £100,000-a-week.

The Daily Mail also mention that Jurgen Klopp is a big admirer of the forward, who has already made eight Bundesliga appearances this season, scoring three goals.

Musiala also recently netted for the England Under-21 side, sharing a pitch with Liverpool prodigies Curtis Jones and Rhys Williams.

Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick has used the teenager fairly often this term, despite having the likes of Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller and Kingsley Coman to choose from.

If you’re wondering what kind of player Musiala is, then the Bundesliga’s official website compared him to Tottenham star Dele Alli.

They mention his skinny-but-tall frame, and add that his ability to operate as either a No.10 or a No.9 make him similar to the England international.

If Liverpool did land the Stuttgart-born attacker, then he and Harvey Elliott could dominate the Reds’ frontline in years to come.
