Liverpool are one of the sides monitoring Derby County teenager Kaide Gordon, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

Gordon recently grabbed some headlines after being handed his first-team debut for the Rams. He came on late in the day during their 4-0 win over Birmingham City towards the end of December.

Derby have brought through a number of exciting young players in recent times. And Gordon looks to have the opportunity to follow in their footsteps.

And it appears that he is attracting plenty of attention. According to a report from the Daily Mail, both Liverpool and Manchester United have the 16-year-old on their radar.

It remains to be seen if any side plans to confirm their interest with an offer in January. But it would be no surprise if the queue of admirers continued to grow in the coming months.

As noted by the Daily Mail, Wayne Rooney claimed that Gordon was one of the club’s best trainers after recently being promoted to the first-team fold.

He is also a player who can feature in a variety of positions.

He went up front for his brief cameo against the Blues, while he has played on both flanks as well as in a more central attacking midfield role for the under-23s this term.
