The winger is an academy product at Craven Cottage and has made 19 appearances for the senior team, but has snubbed a new £5,000-a-week contract in order to force a move to the Premier League.

The 18-year-old was a top target for Manchester City this year, who have already had an £8 million bid rejected for him, with the Whites asking for between £10-15 million for the prodigy.

Following Raheem Sterling's stunning £49 million move to Manchester City, Liverpool are ready to splash the cash in order to replace him.

They face competition from the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United, as well as Manchester City, who will continue in their pursuit of English talent, and are desperate to recruit the England Under-19 international.
