Liverpool and Manchester City have reportedly joined the hunt for West Bromwich Albion's Rico Richards.
The forward, who only turned 16 in September, has been training with West Brom's Under-23 side this season.
According to The Sun, though, Richards will see his contract at The Hawthorns expire next summer, and a clutch of the Premier League's biggest clubs are closely monitoring developments.
The report claims that Liverpool and City have joined Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in the race for the attacker, whom West Brom are desperately attempting to sign to a new deal.
Fellow Baggies youngsters Morgan Rogers and Louie Barry have both recently left The Hawthorns for pastures new, with the former joining City last summer while the latter moved to Barcelona.
Liverpool and City locked horns on the pitch on Sunday afternoon, and the Reds recorded a 3-1 win over the reigning champions to open up an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
