Manchester United and Liverpool are the latest Premier League sides to have shown an interest in AS Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, according to a report.

The 22-year-old, who has previously been linked with a move to Chelsea, is one of a number of players that could be prised away from the Ligue 1 champions this summer.

Monaco are said to be holding out for at least £40m for the France international, having previously fended off interest from rivals Paris Saint-Germain for his signature.

It is claimed by the Daily Mail that United and Liverpool are willing to meet the defensive ace's price tag, with both sides making enquires after watching the player up close.

Bakayoko featured 42 times for Monaco in their run to the Ligue 1 title and to the last four of the Champions League.
