Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are all deeply interested in Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich.

 The 29-year-old German is looking for a new challenge after less than a decade in Bavaria, according to The Express.

 Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain were considered favorites for his signature, but now look set to face competition from the three English giants.

 City boss Pep Guardiola worked with Kimmich during his time in charge of Bayern and is said to have inspired the player to switch from defender to versatile midfielder.

 Now a reunion at the Etihad could be on the cards - especially with £45m-wrestling Kalvin Phillips, who was loaned to West Ham in January after failing to win got a starting spot in Manchester.

 Meanwhile, Liverpool face a summer of change with the imminent departure of manager Jurgen Klopp and are keen to add Kimmich's experience to their engine room.

 And Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is said to see the 82-time ace as the final piece of the puzzle as he looks to build a team capable of regularly winning major trophies.

 Kimmich wore the captain's armband in five of Bayern's first eight Bundesliga games this season, but has not done so since rumors of a falling out with coach Thomas Tuchel emerged.

 Last month it was announced that the former Chelsea coach, 50 years old, would leave the Allianz Arena at the end of the season after a string of poor results.
