Leeds United and Wolves are chasing Carlisle teenager Liam McCarron.
The Daily Mail report Leeds United and Wolves are among the teams tracking Carlisle United winger Liam McCarron.
McCarron made his debut for the League Two side earlier this season after signing a professional contract.
At just 18-years-old, he now has 20 first team appearances to his name.
To get a sense of what a bright prospect he is, we looked back to the comments from Carlisle United academy boss Darren Edmondson earlier in the season.
Speaking to the club’s official website, he raved about McCarron’s professionalism and confidence.
He said: “He’s always had pace and the belief that he’s going to beat the person in front of him, but he’s become stronger with the mental aspects of the game. That was important, because it’s made him a better all-round player.
“From a footballing point of view, he’s almost a free spirit. He has the ability to go past three players at any given point, when others would have passed the ball and moved to a different area.
“He’s an out-and-out winger who has pace, power and strength and he can take people on. That’s something we tried not to coach out of him, so what we’ve looked at with him is making sure he knows his responsibilities when the team doesn’t have the ball.”
Edmondson did say that McCarron’s ascent to the first team had come a year earlier than he had anticipated.
He is still looking for his first professional goal, and another season at Carlisle could be in his interests.
At Leeds or Wolves he would likely go into their under-23 sides at first.
