West Ham United have been linked with the Scottish-born starlet.
The Mail have reported that West Ham United are the latest Premier League side to express an interest in Morton younger Jai Quitongo.
A number of top-flight English sides – including Southampton and Crystal Palace – have been credited with an interest in the 19-year-old forward, whose contract with the Scottish club expires in the summer.
The Scottish Sun reported last week that Southampton were keen, but that Crystal Palace were preparing a £300,000 offer for the Scottish teenager, who will be allowed to speak to other clubs in January.
That being said, The Mail have now claimed that West Ham will throw their hats in the ring and rival their Premier League rivals for his signature.
The report goes on to suggest that Doncaster Rovers had a £100,000 bid knocked back in the summer, while claiming that a host of Championship sides are also interested.
Quitongo – son of former Hearts and St Mirren winger Jose – is eligible to represent both Scotland and Portugal at international level
West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic is no stranger to investing in young talent and has already signed a host of youngsters in the three transfer windows he has had as Irons manager.
In the summer, the Croat brought highly-rated youngsters Domingos Quina and Ashley Fletcher to the East London club, and has previously signed Sam Byram and Martin Samuelsen, though none of those four have had a major impact on the first team as yet.
