Blackburn Rovers youngster Lewis Travis is attracting Premier League interest.

The Sun says the 21-year-old has broken into the first team at Ewood Park this season and has FIVE Premier League clubs watching him regularly.

Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez was impressed when Travis helped earn an FA Cup replay with a draw at St James' Park.

Benitez was at Liverpool when Travis was at the Academy at Anfield learning his trade as a box-to-box midfielder or right-back.

Travis joined Liverpool as a kid in 2004 - spending the next decade working his way through the Reds' youth ranks.

The midfielder swapped Liverpool for Blackburn in 2014, signing his first professional contract in January 2017.
