Premier League trio want Dutch Maestro

Premier League giants Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are all considered to be in the race to sign Schalke 04 striker Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar during the winter transfer window.

Recent reports have claimed that the Gunners were linked with the player's services on transfer deadline day, until they opted to sign Danny Welbeck from arch-rivals Manchester United.

According to The Express, the Gunners are still keen on sealing a deal for their long-term target, but are likely to face stiff competition from the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.

Huntelaar's deal at Schalke expires next summer, and he could be offloaded for a bargain fee in January.
