Liverpool 'to rival Tottenham Hotspur for £25m Andre Schurrle'

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly set to do battle for Chelsea forward Andre Schurrle this January.

Despite featuring in Germany's World Cup-winning team last summer, the 24-year-old has found himself on the fringes of Jose Mourinho's team this season and has even been criticised for producing inconsistent performances.

The Express claims that Liverpool and Spurs will launch £25m bids in the forthcoming transfer window as both clubs look to bolster misfiring frontlines.

Chelsea have been monitoring a number of targets including Gareth Bale and Marco Reus and could be willing to cash in on the German international to make away for new additions.

However, Liverpool and Tottenham could face competition from Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid in the race to sign the former Bayer Leverkusen star.
