Tottenham are leading the race for Walsall fullback Rico Henry.

The Daily Express says Spurs are in a battle with Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City for the 18-year-old's signature.

However, Mauricio Pochettino looks to have jumped to the front of the queue with the north London club making an inquiry.

Henry, who has been dubbed the 'new Ashley Cole', signed a new five-year contract with Walsall in October.
