According to reports from the Sunday Mirror (printed edition; 19th November – page 68), Liverpool and Everton are locked in chase for Huddersfield Town keeper Ryan Schofield.

The 17-year-old has been making big progress at the club and was promoted to their first-team squad in the summer.

The England Under-20 international has a deal at the club till 2019, and has impressed at the summer’s Toulon tournament. He made four appearances as the Young Lions retained the trophy.

He is rated highly at Huddersfield, and manager David Wagner has high hopes from him – a reason why he was promoted to the first-team so early in his career.

The idea behind it was to get him to mix with the first-team dressing room and train with the senior player, and at the same time continue to play for the academy side.

If either of Liverpool and Everton manage to sign him, they would also follow the same route, as Schofield is probably not yet ready to regular Premier League action as yet.

The report adds that Spurs and Southampton are also closely following his development. However, the interest from the two Merseyside clubs is strong at the moment.
