Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool monitor VfB Stuttgart defender

VfB Stuttgart defender Fin Jilcic is attracting interest from Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool as English clubs monitor the player's development ahead of a potential future signing.

CaughtOffside reports that VfB Stuttgart values the German international defender under 21 at around €50 million, while it remains unclear whether interested clubs are willing to pay this amount.

Arsenal have a strong defensive line, making the signing of a new defender unexpected, especially with the team's need to bolster their attack. Meanwhile, Manchester United and Liverpool are looking for more defensive depth, with the former needing a long-term replacement for Harry Maguire and the latter preparing for the eventual succession of Virgil van Dijk.

Gieltech is highly regarded in Europe and has a promising future, while regular participation in the Premier League could represent an important step in his development.

VfB Stuttgart are unlikely to agree to his departure during the winter transfer window, making a potential move closer to next summer.
