Reports in Scotland claim Liverpool have taken Hibernian teenager Ethan Laidlaw on trial this week in a bid to steal a march on their rivals.
The 16-year-old has caught the eye playing in the Hibs youth teams and has yet to make his senior debut. A number of clubs have been alerted to the striker’s talents, with Leeds United already taking him on trial. And
Despite having had little exposure, Manchester City and Chelsea are also keen, according to The Herald. It could be a busy summer for the player, with big decisions to be made over his future.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men will follow the same path as
Leeds by offering the player an audition before making their mind up over a permanent deal.
The report adds that Hibs are in no rush to cash in on one of their top talents, despite interest from England.
The Easter Road outfit are back in action this Sunday in the Scottish Cup against League Two Stranraer.
There is a strong chance that Laidlaw will make his first senior appearance for the club in that game. To that end, there may be scouts in attendance from across the border taking a close look.

Manchester United have hit an immediate hurdle after setting a transfer for Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic in motion, a report claims.
Reports over the last few months have claimed that a new centre-back is among
United‘s top summer priorities. Indeed, boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to find a new long-term partner for Harry Maguire. He currently has Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly, but wants a fresh face at the back.
Alongside several reports, a number of names have surfaced on the Red Devils’ radar. Sevilla’s Jules Kounde and Villarreal’s Pau Torres are among those to have entertained links with Old Trafford.
