A number of Premier League clubs are believed to be tracking the Poland attacker – who scored for his country in Thursday night’s Nations League clash against Portugal.

Italian outlet Corriere Dello Sport recently suggested that Juventus and Inter Milan will go head-to-head for the starlet.

Now, La Gazzetta dello Sport are claiming that Liverpool and Tottenham have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Piatek.

The forward could reportedly be allowed to depart the club in January on a permanent deal, but be loaned back to Genoa until the end of the season. It has been suggested the Serie A side will hold out for €40million.
