Aston Villa prospect Callum O'Hare is attracting major Premier League interest.
Arsenal, Everton and Southampton had scouts in the stands to see O'Hare hit a hat-trick for Villa's U23s in their 6-0 rout of Newcastle.
The 19-year-old has been rewarded with a new contract and training regularly with the first-team to ward off any interest.
The Birmingham Mail says Championship rivals Sheffield Wednesday also had scouts at the game.
