AC Milan and Inter Milan have joined the battle for Hoffenheim defender Niklas Sule.

BILD says the two Milan giants are among the scramble to land the Germany international.

Liverpool, Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea are also keen on Sule.

Sule has insisted he's happy where he is, believing his development is best served sticking with Hoffenheim.

The youngster won his first cap with Germany earlier this season.
