16-year-old Hertha BSC prodigy Kennet Eichhorn has emerged as a transfer target for several top clubs both inside and outside Germany.

According to Bild’s head of football, Christian Falk, Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester United are among the clubs “focusing on” the young midfielder.

Bayern Munich, however, are seen as the frontrunners to sign the 16-year-old, having already expressed “concrete interest,” as per Falk's information. 

The German champions may hold an additional advantage given their strong relationship with 11Wins, the agency representing both Eichhorn and Jamal Musiala. 

Reports have claimed that Eichhorn’s contract includes a release clause in the region of €10-12 million.

Currently, the central midfielder is concentrating on his recovery from an ankle injury.
