Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal have received a boost in their alleged pursuit of Zakaria Bakkali after reports emerged that the Belgian winger has been frozen out by PSV Eindhoven and will not feature for the Eredivisie club again following his refusal to sign a new contract.

That's according to Belgian media outlet HLN.be, who cite local Dutch newspaper the Eindhoven Dagblad when confirming that the 18-year-old's current deal at the Philips Stadion expires next summer, and manager Phillip Cocu has been trying for months to get the talented teenager to pen an extension.

However, Bakkali has been biding his time amid reported interest from a host of top European clubs; a move that now looks to have backfired after PSV lost patience with the talented teenager.

Described as the 'next Eden Hazard' in his homeland, Bakkali has attracted admiring glances from the Premier League, with Louis van Gaal, Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho and Brendan Rodgers all among the player's growing list of suitors, according to the Daily Star.

A move to England appeared increasingly likely after PSV withdrew their offer of a new contract last week, and the latest development will almost certainly push the youngster out of the club when the transfer window reopens in January.
