Liverpool believe that youngster Bobby Clark has a very bright future ahead of him.
The talented midfielder was in Dubai with the first team during their midseason training camp.
However, the Liverpool Echo states that Clark is in slight limbo at the club at present.
He is too good for the Under-21s, while he cannot get regular first team minutes either.
The source adds that the club are likely to arrange a loan for Clark to take him to the end of the season.
The 17-year-old is being linked to Championship club Preston North End.
