Liverpool are set to win the race to sign Fulham’s teenage midfielder Harvey Elliott, as per reports.
The 16-year-old holds the record as the youngest player to play in the Premier League, and has attracted interest from top European clubs such as Barcelona, Real Madrid and RB Leipzig.
But he is now poised to join European champions Liverpool after his youth contract expired in June.
He has already rejected a new contract at Craven Cottage and has not been named in the club’s new intake of scholars.
Elliott will join up with Liverpool’s first team, although FA rules dictate U17s cannot sign professional deals.
Liverpool will have to negotiate a compensation package with Fulham as the England U17 international is regarded as a highly-prized prospect.
