According to a report in the British tabloid The Daily Mirror, Liverpool have handed youngster Nathan Eccleston a new two-year contract to stave off interest from Premier League rivals.
It is claimed that Blackburn Rovers and Everton had shown an interest in the highly-rated 18-year-old, prompting the Reds to secure his future at Anfield.
The striker apparently played a key role in Liverpool's FA Youth Cup triumph last season and has helped the team to the semi-final stage this campaign.
The England youth international's contract was due to expire at the end of the season, but manager Rafael Benitez was keen to keep the promising 5ft 10in forward at the club.
