Bayern Munich have joined Everton and Manchester City in the race for Hoffenheim midfielder Dennis Geiger, according to German news outlet Sport1.
The 21-year-old’s stock continues to rise and some of Europe’s elite clubs are watching him closely.
Everton have suffered plenty of injuries in midfield recently, with Andre Gomes and Jean-Philippe Gbamin the notable absentees. Geiger has played nine times in the Bundesliga this season and has provided three assists.
He is very strong technically and City are said to be leading the race, but the Toffees are still in the hunt.

The 21-year-old is highly-rated and could go on to become one of the world’s best players.
Everton need to strengthen in January and Geiger would be an ideal signing, but Hoffenheim are expected to be reluctant to sell their star man.
It’ll be hard to compete with City and Bayern for his signature, but he’s more likely to get more game time with Everton so that could play a big part.
