Premier League giants Liverpool and Manchester United are keeping tabs on Stephen Walker as Middlesbrough face losing a number of their most talented youngsters, as reported by the Northern Echo.

There are a number of talented youngsters coming through the ranks at Boro with the report claiming that Bilal Brahimi, Marcus Tavernier and Nathan Wood all being watched by clubs both at home and abroad.

18-year-old French winger Brahimi is out of contract in July and TEAMtalk claim that he is a target for Liverpool and Newcastle United. But Brahimi is not the only Boro starlet who has caught the eye of those at Anfield.

Walker has impressed this season and helped Middlesbrough’s U18s reach the Premier League Cup final. He is currently on loan at MK Dons as he looks to prove himself at senior level.

The 18-year-old has a contract at the Riverside until 2023 so, unlike Brahimi, at least his club would be able to demand a sizeable transfer fee with Liverpool, alongside Manchester United, keen to bring the youngster to the north west.
