Liverpool and Arsenal could compete for the signature of PSV Eindhoven winger Johan Bakayoko next year, according to TBR Football.



The Belgium international has been linked with a Premier League move for some time and he is widely expected to leave PSV soon.

His current deal with the Dutch giants expires in the summer of 2026 and as things stand, he has no plans of prolonging his contract.

Liverpool and Arsenal have been monitoring him for some time and they could get into a bidding war to land his signature in 2025.

Bakayoko has five goals and three assists from the right wing this term.

Arsenal see him as a potential deputy to Bukayo Saka, who has had a heavy workload with the lack of a proper back-up in the squad.

Meanwhile, the Reds could consider him as a successor to Mohamed Salah, who could walk away when his deal expires next summer.

The Egypt international has yet to be convinced over a renewal and as things stand, he can negotiate with foreign clubs in January.
