Liverpool and Tottenham preparing £25m bid for Schurrl

Schurrle will be allowed to depart the club in the upcoming transfer window

A Chelsea source revealed to The Sun, “José’s got to generate his own spending money in January but doesn't want to sell any of his top stars," 

"So he's looking at his fringe players and, on current form, Schurrle is the obvious choice.

"He's not a regular and his form has been woeful this season — a real drop despite having returned from Brazil on a high after winning the World Cup.

"He'd also bring in a good fee, giving Jose the funds to move into the market himself."

The German International Schurrle  is stalling on a new deal at Dortmund and is attracting interest from premier league giants including Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United.

In news posted by Daily star it was also found that Premier League duo Liverpool and Tottenham have joined the hunt for Schurrle's signature.
