Tottenham and Liverpool are reportedly set to go head to head in a battle to land Werder Bremen wonderkid David Philipp.
The 17-year-old midfielder is one of the Bundesliga's hottest young properties having starred for Bremen through the youth ranks.
He hit 18 goals and set up 21 more in the Under-17s last season, and, according to Sky Deutschland, both Spurs and the Reds have made enquiries.
Bremen academy director Bjorn Schierenbeck said: “I wouldn’t want to rule out the interest in David from the English clubs.
“But I don’t know exactly how firm it is. We would be very eager to continue working together with David.
“We have already held talks with him, and explained what his future career with Werder can look like.”
Philipp, who is understood to be on the brink of the German Under-19 international side, is out of contract in Bremen next summer.
