Liverpool and Swansea City are reportedly amongst the group of clubs keen on signing West Bromwich Albion sensation Rayhaan Tulloch.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, West Brom are fighting to keep hold of Rayhaan Tulloch, with Liverpool, Swansea and Brighton and Hove Albion all interested in the teenage striker.

It has been a tricky summer for the Baggies, particularly when it comes to some of their brightest academy prospects. Rekeem Harper has extended his contract at the Hawthorns, but both Louie Barry and Morgan Rogers have left to join Barcelona and Manchester City respectively.

And it appears that Slaven Bilic is now having to deal with another of his brightest talents attracting attention. The Daily Mail reports that Tulloch is wanted by Liverpool, Brighton and the Swans.

The 18-year-old made a handful of appearances for the Baggies first-team last season, and may well have set his sights on more game-time during the coming campaign, especially with Bilic currently short of striker options following the departures of both Jay Rodriguez and Dwight Gayle earlier in the summer.

If Tulloch is given assurances over the game-time he will get this season, then staying at West Brom may well be the best option for him, particularly if Swansea and Brighton are the two teams pushing hardest to sign him.

Of course, joining the Champions League winners would be an incredibly attractive proposition for the forward. But his path to the first-team at Anfield is set to be blocked by a number of players, so that could be a risky move at this stage of his career.
