According to a report by CaughtOffside, Arsenal and Manchester United are among the clubs interested in signing Bazoumana Touré.
A summer transfer would be far more realistic, as TSG Hoffenheim are likely unwilling to sell the Côte D'Ivoire talent mid-season.
The two Premier League giants plan to use the January transfer window to establish contact with the player's representatives.
A strong first half of the season for Hoffenheim with 2 goals and 5 assists in 14 Bundesliga matches, has attracted serious attention.
Hoffenheim sees the winger as a highly-prized asset – interested clubs would have to dig deep into their pockets to bring Touré to England.
With a asking price of at least €44million, the 19-year-old is fully expected to become Hoffenheim's new record sale.
This title is currently held by the 29-year-old Joelinton, who moved to Newcastle United from the Sinsheim club 2019 for €43.5million.
