Reds in race for Lille winger
Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United are set to go battle it out for Lille winger Sofiane Boufal, according to reports.
Boufal only joined the Ligue 1 club last summer, but has already been linked with a high-profile move after an impressive first-half of the campaign.
The 22-year-old, who has been dubbed the 'next Eden Hazard' in France, has scored five goals and assisted one so far this season.
Paris Saint-Germin are reportedly keen on the attacking midfielder, but Spanish website Fichajes claim Arsenal, Liverpool and United have entered the race for his services.
The uncapped Moroccan will reportedly set suitors back £18.5million if they want to sign him in January, but his agent insists his client is keen on staying at Lille until the end of the season.
"We want to do a full season in Ligue 1 and then a choice will be made next summer," said his representative Yven Le Mee.
"He must continue what he's doing, have a good second part of the season to show his potential to major clubs. For us, leaving in January is too early."
