Liverpool have reportedly joined the running to sign Charlton Athletic striker Ademola Lookman.

A number of Premier League clubs have recently been credited with an interest in the 18-year-old, including Manchester City.

However, the Merseysiders are also keen, having sent a scout to watch the frontman in action against Burnley at the weekend, according to The News Shopper.

Lookman did not feature in the encounter, though, because of a hamstring complaint.

The youngster has scored three goals for his Championship employers this term.
