Arsenal, Tottenham rival Manchester United, Real Madrid in Kennet Eichhorn chase

Arsenal and Tottenham are set to battle Manchester United and Real Madrid for the signature of Kennet Eichhorn.

Kennet Eichhorn’s sensational rise at Hertha BSC hasn’t gone unnoticed. Multiple top clubs have taken note of his progress and could knock on the doors of the German second division outfit to try and strike a deal.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United, and Real Madrid are all keen on signing the 16-year-old defensive midfielder. Eichhorn is widely regarded as one of the most exciting young talents in Europe, and none of these clubs want to miss out on securing his signature.

Eichhorn’s rise at Hertha

The teenager has been a part of the Hertha setup since his childhood days. He has come up the ranks at some pace and was promoted to their first team ahead of the new campaign. Despite being just 16, he has managed to establish himself as a key part of their team in no time.

The German youth international has already made 10 senior appearances, and on the back of his consistent and impressive performances, multiple top clubs from across Europe are now after his signature. There is a £10.5 million release clause in his contract, making him a bargain option for the big clubs.

The 6’1 wonderkid possesses an exceptional ability to read the game defensively, and on top of that, he excels in distributing the ball with precision and composure. Those are qualities that some of the biggest clubs admire.

North London giants want Eichhorn

Arsenal and Tottenham are two clubs that have been keeping tabs on him for some time and could make a move in January. The North London clubs consider him a generational talent and are set to push to bring him to the club. Thomas Frank isn’t pleased with his midfield options and wants to freshen things up.

While Eichhorn will be more of an investment for the long run, given his massive potential, he could be playing first-team football in no time. Mikel Arteta has enough depth in his squad, but with an eye on the future, he would love to have the 16-year-old in his squad.

The North London clubs will have to rival Manchester United and Real Madrid in the chase. The Red Devils have recently shifted their focus to building a team for the future, and Eichhorn can certainly help their cause. As far as Los Blancos are concerned, they are always on the lookout for young players with massive potential, and the teenager certainly fits the bill.
