Liverpool and Tottenham could go head-to-head for the signature of World Cup star Sofyan Amrabat, according to reports.
The Morocco midfielder has been one of the unlikely stars of the tournament, helping the Atlas Lions reach the quarter-finals in Qatar.
Morocco, who face Portugal on Saturday, are seeking to become the first African nation to reach the last four of the competition.
The tough-tackling Amrabat has caught the eye in a holding midfield role, breaking up play in front of the back four before setting his team on the attack.
And his considerable efforts over the last fortnight have not escaped the attention of Premier League scouts, with Liverpool and Tottenham considering a move for the Fiorentina man.
That is according to a report by 90min, which states that the Reds and Spurs are both interested in signing the midfielder in the January transfer window.
Tottenham tried to sign Amrabat at the start of this year but ultimately brought Rodrigo Bentancur to the club instead.
Liverpool are seeking midfield reinforcements and have identified the 26-year-old as a potential target.
However, Fiorentina are keen to keep hold of a player who is valued at £8.6m by Transfermarkt.
Amrabat is under contract with the Italian side until 2024, and the club has an option to extend his deal by another 12 months.
