Chelsea and Liverpool are reportedly interested in German winger Nick Breitenbucher after the youngster's impressive form in the youth ranks at Hoffenheim.
Former Germany Under 16 international Breitenbucher is referred to as 'the next Arjen Robben' by his teammates thanks to his direct raiding runs.
Hoffenheim's Bundesliga rivals Schalke are thought to remain the favourites to sign the 17-year-old, but the Premier League champions and big-spending Blues are also thought to be interested.
Diminutive Breitenbucher is a left-footed prodigy who likes to play on the right and cut in to the centre, according to Spox.
