The Premier League race for Atalanta midfielder Bryan Cristante is heating up.

Tuttosport says the Benfica ace, currently on loan at Atalanta, has emerged as a £27million target for Arsenal and Liverpool.

Cristante has impressed this season, scoring ten goals in 33 appearances across all competitions.

The 23-year-old is rated as one of the best young midfielders in Europe.

And his recent explosion onto the international scene has clubs sniffing around for his signature.

It's said that Liverpool and Arsenal are keen on bringing Cristante to England.

But there is also believed to be interest from West Ham and Watford.

While Inter Milan and Juventus could yet make moves for the ex-AC Milan youngster.
