Eichhorn is not short of offers, having attracted the interest of several top European clubs, including Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund, and now Liverpool.

Back in May, BVB sporting director Ole Book discussed their interest in the teenager to the media:

“I do think he has a certain creativity,” Book told Ruhr Nachrichten. “We know him well, we like him. Like probably many other clubs, we like the player. We’ll see about everything else.”

As per reports, Liverpool have held concrete talks with the player and his representatives. It will be a tough decision for the teenager and one which he will have to get right if he’s to reach his potential.
