Premier League giants circle Lyon for whizkid Willem Geubbels

Major interest is arriving for Lyon whizkid Willem Geubbels.

The 16 year-old prospect is rated the jewel of OL's academy and is already attracting enquiries from Europe's biggest clubs.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City have all asked OL for more information on Geubbels. Bayern Munich have gone a step further, offering €9m for his signing. OL turned it down flat.

Lyon are eager to keep hold of Geubbels, though know they face a battle to count on him long-term.

Now 16, the winger won his first cap with France U18 as a 15 year-old.
