Newcastle United, Stoke City, and Blackburn Rovers are all interested in Bayern Munich reserve striker Deniz Yilmaz, according to reports from Germany.

In a recent interview with Bild, the 22-year old explained that he spoke with first team coach Louis van Gaal, and "he told me that it would be hard for me to get into the first team".

"I have not made any progress at Bayern. I still have a contract to 2011, but they plan to use me in the third division," he added.

"I could get a professional contract from another team."

His statements have left the Premier League trio on high alert. Previously, German side Bochum had been interested in securing the services of Yilmaz, but after being relegated they will have a difficult time matching the Premier League's allure.

Yilmaz scored 13 goals for the Bayern reserves last year, and could leave Munich for as little as €1 million (£835,000).

Greg Stobart reports from Old Trafford: “We’re having a bit of a lull here, on and of the pitch, but I don’t think the drama is over this afternoon. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Kenny Dalglish so passive on the touchline - he’s looking rather fed up as United look to see the game out as we head into the final 10 minutes. The visitors have never got going in the second half and United are looking very comfortable at the moment as they dominate possession.”

Thankfully, not a lot happened at Old Trafford while the reporters had their pre-match say. But what I can tell you, as proven by the #ScholesyforEngland hashtag, is that Paul Scholes is storming this game from the middle of the park. And we also have a Liverpool change - Charlie Adam is on for Dirk Kuyt.
