Coventry starlet Jordan Ponticelli wanted by Everton, Leicester

Coventry City starlet Jordan Ponticelli is attracting Premier League interest.

The Sun says Everton and Leicester lead a group of four Premier League clubs tracking Ponticelli.

Crystal Palace and newly-promoted Huddersfield are also on the trail of the 18-year-old striker who scored more goals in youth football last season than any other player.

Ponticelli struck 27 times for the Sky Blues to help his side win the Professional Development League title.

The club have already earmarked drafting the teenager into their first team plans next season following relegation down to League Two.

But Coventry fear they could struggle to keep hold of the prolific striker, who scored six more goals than any other player in his age group.
