Liverpool have submitted a formal offer to sign Hertha Berlin midfielder Kennet Eichhorn during the summer transfer window, according to reports.

The 16-year-old German midfielder is highly rated across Europe and is widely expected to develop into a future star at the highest level.

Manchester City have also submitted an offer for the player, setting up a fascinating battle between two of England’s biggest clubs for his signature.

Hertha Berlin will not want to part with their prized asset easily and could demand a significant premium fee for the highly sought-after teenager.

Eichhorn is described as a phenomenal talent with a bright future, and whoever secures his signature could have a world-class player on their hands.

Liverpool are understood to view the teenager as a solid future investment, with the club looking to add more quality in the middle of the park.

Premier League experience could accelerate Eichhorn’s development considerably and help him fulfil his enormous potential at the highest level of the game.

The young midfielder is naturally a defensive midfielder but is also capable of operating effectively in a central midfield role with equal composure.

At Liverpool, signing Eichhorn could allow Ryan Gravenberch to operate with greater freedom, while at Manchester City he could serve as an alternative to Rodri.

The opportunity to represent either Liverpool or Manchester City will be an incredibly difficult proposition for the talented 16-year-old to turn down.

It remains to be seen which of the two Premier League clubs can ultimately convince Hertha Berlin to sanction the sale of their prized young midfielder.
