Bohemians boss Keith Long admits British clubs are keen on their wonderkid Evan Ferguson.
Long fielded the 14 year-old striker against Chelsea for last week's 1-1 friendly draw.
Ferguson was directly involved in the build-up to Eric Molloy's last-minute equaliser as Long's men secured an unlikely draw.
Long believes his performance against the Blues is reason why British clubs are after his signature.
The Bohs manager said: “Evan has got lots of attention from English clubs, he's got lots of suitors.
“He's coming through St Kevin's Boys, he's in with the Bohemians SKB Under-15s and is doing really well.
“He's 14 and he comes off the bench and shows maturity beyond his years — and quality as well. He almost scored . . . and his clever little stepover for Eric in the build-up to the goal.
“He's a big boy. He's 14 and he looks like a man but he's not, you can't get sucked into that.
“He's 14 and we're pleased to get him some minutes but there were others as well."
What a memorable first-team debut for 14-year-old Evan Ferguson against @ChelseaFC on Wednesday.
