Liverpool are reportedly keeping tabs on Manchester United target and Nottingham Forest forward Ben Brereton.

Liverpool are reportedly keen to swoop for Nottingham Forest striker Ben Brereton, who has also been linked to Manchester United.

The 17-year-old joined the Championship club's academy in 2015 from Stoke City, and made his first-team debut earlier this year.

Brereton would have caught the eye on Saturday when he scored his first goal - an injury-time winner - in Forest's 2-1 triumph over Aston Villa at home.

According to The Mirror, Liverpool are considering making a move for the teenager in the summer transfer window after having a £2.5m bid rejected last month.

It is believed that United are also keeping track of Brereton, who was first signed up by the Red Devils' academy before having a spell at Stoke.
