Conor Hunte has emerged as a target for Liverpool and Manchester City after being granted permission to leave Chelsea.
The highly-rated 16-year old has had a disagreement with the Blues regarding the signing of his first professional contract, due when he turns 17 in September, and is now on the lookout for a new home.
Liverpool have shown significant interest in Hunte, who played in the NextGen final with the Blues last season, but City are also believed to be considerably curious.
