Liverpool are being tipped to battle it out with a host of European clubs for the signature of Spanish full-back Ivan Fresneda.
The 18-year-old is currently enjoying a breakthrough campaign with Real Valladolid, having made his La Liga debut in September and featuring seven times at first-team level in all competitions.
It has been claimed Arsenal, Brentford, Everton, Fulham, Leeds, Newcastle, Southampton and Wolves are clubs who have already 'moved' for the teenager, who is understood to have a release clause of £26million.

Spanish outlet AS describe the situation as a 'frantic race' to sign the youngster, with Italian clubs AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus and Roma also said to be keen, in addition to Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain and Rennes in Ligue 1.
The player's release clause is set to rise to €45million (£39m) after he reaches 22 appearances for the club, which could prompt a number of sides to move for Fresneda in January. Liverpool signed cover at right-back during the summer window in the form of Calvin Ramsay, raising doubts over this rumoured move.
