Carlisle United goalkeeper Mark Gillespie is reportedly being tracked by a number of Premier League clubs.

The 23-year-old starred for the Cumbrians in their League Cup tie against Liverpool on Wednesday night, in which the top-flight outfit required penalties to edge through.

According to ESPN, the former Newcastle United product was already on the radar of certain big-name sides, with his reputation only being further enhanced thanks to his stellar showing against the Reds.

It is claimed that Leicester City are among those interested in Gillespie, who signed a new one-year deal at Brunton Park during the summer.

Championship duo Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion are also said to be keeping a close eye on the youngster's future development.
