Chelsea and Arsenal set to battle Liverpool for £86m World Cup star after Jude Bellingham choice

Premier League clubs look set to battle it out for Valencia star Yunus Musah in 2023. The 19-year-old USA midfielder was one of the standout performers for Gregg Berhalter's side at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and dazzled against England.

Alongside Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie - another player who is in-demand in the Premier League - Musah was an strong energetic force in the centre of the pitch and demonstrated brilliant technical skills to help control the game against Gareth Southgate's Three Lions.

Having left Arsenal as a 16-year-old in 2019, the Gunners are one of the sides interested in bringing him back to England, but Chelsea are also in the mix due to their own midfield issues heading into the New Year. Musah only signed a new deal in 2020 once promoted from within the club in Spain and still has four years left on his current deal, but performances at the World Cup have alerted clubs to his talent.
