A host of Premier League clubs are looking to sign youngster Mason Melia when he turns 18.

The talented Irish teenager plays first-team football for St Patrick's Athletic in the League of Ireland Premier Division.

Per The Standard, he cannot move to the UK until he is 18 because of Brexit regulations.

The 16-year-old could move to mainland Europe, which may be possible as Premier League clubs do have feeder teams.

Arsenal are among those seriously interested in bringing him to North London eventually.

Manchester City and Brighton are also said to be monitoring his progress over the past few months.
