Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are all interested in signing Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze, according to La Razon [via Sport Witness].
The 21-year-old is one of the most exciting young attacking players in La Liga, with comparisons made with Arjen Robben in the past.
Liverpool have been tipped to make a move for Chukwueze before, but nothing has materialised yet.
The youngster is believed to have an €80million buyout clause at Villarreal, which could alert a number of big clubs.
Real Madrid are also mentioned as contenders to sign Chukwueze, as are Leicester City, Everton and Wolves.

While Liverpool have no real need to sign Chukwueze at the moment, he could be viewed as a hugely exciting long-term acquisition.
The Nigerian is still only 21, and with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane slowly approaching 30, they will need to be replaced one day, as sad as that may be to accept.
Diogo Jota already looks a tailor-made long-term star at Liverpool and Chukwueze could operate on the right flank, cutting inside on his deadly left foot.
It remains to be seen if the Reds’ interest is concrete, but it is encouraging to see them linked with top class young prospects.
