Arsenal, Liverpool FC and Manchester United are interested in a potential deal to sign West Brom striker Jovan Malcolm, according to a report in England.

The Daily Mirror is reporting that Malcolm has caught the eye of the Premier League leaders after the 16-year-old scored four times for West Brom’s Under-18 side against Liverpool FC last week.

The same article states that Malcolm’s performances have alerted some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs to the West Brom teenager, including Arsenal and Manchester United.

According to the same story, West Brom will be hoping to convince the young striker to remain at The Hawthorns after Slavan Bilic’s side lost Louie Barry to FC Barcelona earlier this year.

The Daily Mirror suggest Liverpool FC and Manchester United could show a particular interest in Malcolm given their recent record of signing youngsters.

Liverpool FC are sitting eight points ahead of Leicester City and Chelsea FC in the Premier League title race following their 3-1 victory over defending champions Manchester City last weekend.

The Reds will make the trip to the English capital to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in their next Premier League fixture.

Liverpool FC finished in second place in the Premier League table last term after the Reds ended up a point behind Manchester City.
