Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly among several Premier League clubs who are keeping tabs on Bayern Munich full-back Noussair Mazraoui.
The 25-year-old joined the Bundesliga giants on a free transfer last summer after letting his contract run down at Eredivisie winners Ajax.
However, Mazraoui has struggled for regular game time during the 2022-23 campaign, starting only 10 of his 20 appearances across all competitions.
The Morocco international has played for just a single minute across the last six matches since the arrival of head coach Thomas Tuchel, and is competing with both Benjamin Pavard and January loan signing Joao Cancelo for a spot at right-back.
Mazraoui recently expressed his frustrations over his current situation, but suggested that it is too soon to discuss his future at the Allianz Arena.

"I am not happy with the current situation," the defender told journalist Maximilian Koch after Bayern's Champions League quarter-final exit to Manchester City on Wednesday.
"I started here before the World Cup, now I'm in good shape and I don't have playing time. I'm not even second or even third choice. It's too early to talk about my point of view, but it's not good."
According to 90min, Mazraoui's representatives have begun to sound out potential suitors for the defender ahead of a possible exit this summer.
The reports adds that Man United and Arsenal are among a plethora of Premier League clubs who have been alerted by the Moroccan's situation.

Newcastle United, West Ham United, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace have also been credited with an interest in the defender.
The report adds that the interested Premier League clubs will be kept informed of Mazraoui's situation should a proposed departure from the Allianz Arena begin to gather momentum.
Mazraoui has not only attracted interest from England as Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan are also said to be in the race for his signature.
Before joining Bayern last summer, Mazraoui spent five years with Ajax, making a total of 137 appearances in all tournaments and winning six trophies including three Eredivisie titles.
