The race for Hamburg winger Tatsuya Ito is intensifying.

Off contract in June, the Japanese youngster has attracted enquiries from Manchester City and Inter Milan. However, they're not alone.

Hamburger Morgenpost says Eintracht Frankfurt, Mainz 05, FC Augsburg and SC Freiburg are also in contact with Ito's representatives.

The midfielder's adviser Jun Yamazaki confirmed: "The interest from the Bundesliga is known to us.

"Tatsuya wants to stay with HSV. We are in very good conversation and hope for a speedy agreement."
