The 18-year-old could be a solid long-term signing for all three clubs and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. He has been an important player for Ajax this season, appearing in 30 games in all competitions. Stuhl also had two goals and four assists.
He has the physical and technical characteristics to suit English football and it remains to be seen whether Ajax will allow him to leave. He is likely to command a premium, but Premier League clubs certainly have the financial power to make a deal happen.
Liverpool and Manchester United need more quality in the holding midfield role. The Dutch international is suited to a central midfield role, although Liverpool have used Ryan Grabenbirch in that role. The arrival of the 18-year-old could give the Dutch star more freedom to play. At Manchester United, he could be a long-term replacement for Casemiro, who is leaving the club at the end of this season.
Arsenal already have plenty of depth in the center of the park and it will be interesting to see if they are serious about signing the 18-year-old. They may not be able to offer him regular first-team action.
It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming months.
