Morocco defender Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal is being linked with a Premier League move.

The 17-year-old was hugely impressive at the recent Under 17 World Cup.

Per The Mail, the Reds have been sending scouts to watch him in action over the past few months.

Ait Boudlal stars for Mohammed VI Football Academy in Sale, Morocco, where he is seen as a dominant defender.

Academy star Keyrol Figueroa, son of former Wigan man Maynor, was signed by Liverpool in a similar way.

He shined at a youth event, like Ait Boudlal has done, which earned him the move.
