Liverpool tracking Peterborough forward Ricky-Jade Jones

Liverpool are keeping tabs on highly-rated Peterborough forward Ricky-Jade Jones, according to the Daily Mail.

The report claims that The Posh are bracing themselves for several offers for the 17-year-old in January, with Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham also keen.

Burnley and Southampton make up the interested parties in Jones, who was handed his league debut against Burton on Saturday.

Spurs had a previous approach of £2m knocked back by the League One side, so the teenager would cost over that figure if any side are successful in securing his services.

Liverpool have been active in the market over the last 12 months in bringing in highly-rated youngsters, and Jade-Jones appears to be the next bright prospect on their list.

Peterborough are known for securing big fees for their attacking talent, with the likes of Dwight Gayle, Britt Assombalonga and Jack Marriott all completing big-money moves away from London Road in recent years.

Jones looks set to be the next, and Liverpool will be hoping they can pip several Premier League rivals to the forward’s signature.
