Premier League sides Newcastle United, Chelsea and Aston Villa could be in for a battle to sign a teenage goalkeeper.

The Sun claims that Fleetwood Town goalkeeper Stephen McMullan is a target for all three top flight giants.

The 18-year-old signed a long term deal with Fleetwood back in January.

However, he has already made his senior debut and is seen as one who can go all the way to the top.

Having already represented the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland at youth level, McMullan has a bright future in the game.

He will now have to decide where he plays football next term, given the level of interest in him.
