Brazilian young gun William McLaren attracting Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal interest

A Brazilian teenager has attracted the attention of Premier League heavyweights via a website designed to discover the stars of the future.

15-year old William Oliveira Souza, nicknamed William McLaren because of his blistering pace, has been offered a three-year deal by Liverpool after they saw him on Brazilian website Pnera.

But the impressive youngster says the interest does not end with the Reds from Anfield.

"A representative of Liverpool saw me play, liked what he saw and the club sent me a contract," McLaren told Globo.

"But other teams are also interested - Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. We'll see what happens."
