Liverpool and Tottenham are both targeting Mainz midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin, report Fussball Transfers.
The Ivory Coast international enjoyed an excellent season in the Bundesliga last time out, making 31 appearances for Sandro Schwarz's side.
And the 2018/19 Champions League finalists are both keeping tabs on the 23-year-old, as are Premier League rivals Everton.
Gbamin, who can also play at centre-back, is keen to seal a move away from Mainz this summer.

The Reds considered submitting a bid for him last summer, before ultimately settling on Fabinho instead.
