Liverpool starlet Bobby Duncan is the latest young Englishman attracting attention from Germany.

Bayern Munich are among several Bundesliga clubs eyeing a move for Duncan, according to The Mirror.

But Liverpool must resist interest from Germany and keep their prize youngster, who could make the cut at first-team level in the near future.

However, owing to the success of Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson out in Germany, many young British players are considering moving abroad to develop their game.

Sancho’s success at Borussia Dortmund is the blueprint for others to follow in his footsteps.

So Liverpool must give Duncan some first-team assurances and show him a clear path to the senior squad.

This could include joining the first-team for training, as the 17-year-old has already been doing on occasion.

And there needs to be a clear path from the under-18 side, where he hit four goals in one game over the weekend, to the first-team.

Jurgen Klopp has been reluctant to give Dominic Solanke and Divock Origi playing time this year, which may put Duncan off.

But in order to keep him from the lure of the Bundesliga, Liverpool need to indicate that if he is good enough, he will get first-team game time.
