West Ham, Everton and Brighton are among Premier League clubs on the trail of Linfield's teen Aodhan Doherty.
Football Insider says the 17 year-old left winger has made three first-team appearances for Linfield and his performances have alerted several English clubs.
Doherty signed a professional contract with Linfield in September, linking him to the Northern Irish club until the end of the 2025-26 season.
But he could be quickly on the move next month given Premier League interest.
West Ham United are rated as favourites given their current ties to Northern Irish football.
