Liverpool will rival West Ham for the signing of Fulham teenager Fabio Carvalho.
The 19-year-old is lighting up the Championship this season, scoring seven goals and assisting twice as the Cottagers race clear at the top.
The Sun claim the Reds are weighing up a £5million January move for the starlet, who has also attracted interest from West Ham.
The Lisbon-born England Under-18s international has six months left on his contract and would be available for a compensation fee in the summer.
The Cottagers must decide whether to cash in on the attacking midfielder or wait until the summer to see if they can receive a bigger sum.
Fulham boss Marco Silva has told Carvalho to keep his feet on the ground and not jump too soon in a bid to boost his career.
He said on the teenager’s future: “I know how good Fabio can be. He has the talent to have a very good career.
“He has to keep his feet on the floor and so do the people around him. Sometimes you want to make a step bigger than your leg can take. Sometimes you are making a big mistake.
“A football career is not just one moment — you have to prepare for the future. Fabio is a clever boy, who wants to be at the top. I hope the people advising him are doing it the right way.”
