Liverpool are emerging as favourites to sign PSV Eindhoven striker Donyell Malen.

Voetbal International says Barcelona and Juventus are also believed to be keen in signing Malen, but it is Liverpool who are in pole position to secure the services of the Dutchman.

The £25million-rated forward spent time at Arsenal as a youngster, but moved to Holland in 2017 and has been in scintillating form this season with 17 goals in 29 league appearances.

Jurgen Klopp reportedly sees Malen as a long-term replacement for Divock Origi, who is expected to depart Anfield after seven years this summer.

Origi has made just six starts in all competitions for the Reds this season and has seen his game time reduced by the instant impact of Diogo Jota.

Malen could be available for £25m and, at just 22 years old, he will be an exciting prospect for whichever club manages to tie him down.
