LIVERPOOL and Tottenham Hotspurs are set to do battle for the signature of England under-21 striker Saido Berahino in January.
The youngster is thought to want a move away from West Brom and has been left out of their side for the last three matches.
Liverpool have struggled since the departure of Luis Suarez, while Daniel Sturridge is still out injured and summer signing Mario Balotelli has been a flop, leaving manager Brendan Rodgers on the lookout for attacking reinforcements to keep their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League alive.
Tottenham also have top four ambitions and boss Mauricio Pochettino wants to provide competition for current strikers Emmanuel Adebayor, Roberto Soldado and Harry Kane.
However, Spurs may have to wait until the end of the season to sign Danny Ings after the Burnley striker stated that he would not move before his contract expires in the summer.
Arsenal are set to rival Manchester United for Germany World Cup winner Mats Hummels.
Both Arsene Wenger and Louis van Gaal are keen to bolster their leaky defences and the Borussia Dortmund defender has become one of the hottest properties in Europe.
