The 18-year-old signed a new long-term deal with the French outfit last winter but he is widely expected to leave them for around £60 million in the coming weeks.

Arsenal have already made contact with the player's agent regarding a summer move and it was recently claimed that they have convinced the midfielder too. However, Romano now reports that the Gunners are not alone in the player's pursuit and could face competition from Liverpool and United for the highly rated ace.

United could enter the race if they fail to land West Ham United's Mateus Fernandes, while Liverpool are keen on adding an emerging midfielder to their ranks this summer. Bouaddi has also been linked with a move to French and European champions Paris Saint-Germain, but Lille prefer to do business with a foreign club instead.
