Mirror - The Premier League trio are all said to be looking at the 19-year-old forward, who has been earning rave reviews in Russia.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ready to fight it out for Rubin Kazan teenager Sardar Azmoun - dubbed the 'Iranian Messi'.

The 19-year-old has earned rave reviews in Russia for his displays and it is Spurs who lead the chase, according to Sports Direct News.

Both the Gunners and the Reds are believed to be monitoring Azmoun's situation, but Spurs technical director Franco Baldini has made the signing a priority.

Baldini believes that he can tempt the skilful forward to White Hart Lane with the promise of breaking into the first team far quicker than he would at either Arsenal or Liverpool, according to the report.
