Premier League clubs plot transfer swoop for USMNT star with "really high ceiling"

Premier League clubs have registered an interest in signing a USMNT star who impressed while on loan with Rangers from Bayern Munich last season.

US international Malik Tillman, who has won four senior caps, experienced something of a breakout campaign during his temporary stay in Glasgow, winning plaudits for his performances after scoring 12 times from midfield in 43 outings. Although the Gers were unable to topple Celtic at the top of the SPL table, the Nuremburg-born ace won a series of individual honours including Scotland PFA Young Player of the Year and Rangers' Young Player of the Year.

The 55-time Scottish champions do hold an option to sign the 21-year-old for £5million this summer following his successful loan but Bayern are holding out in the case of a higher offer. With Brighton and Brentford holding an interest in the player, according to the Daily Mail, it could well be that they are in a position to gazump the SPL giants.
