Liverpool, Everton And Spurs To Battle It Out For Hull Starlet

Hull are facing a fight to hang on to wonder kid Tom Cairney.

The teenage sensation is already being tracked by Premier League big guns - after just five senior starts for the Tigers.

Tottenham, Liverpool and Everton are monitoring Cairney’s progress and are ready to slug it out for his signature in the summer.

City boss Phil Brown is determined to hang on to the 19-year-old midfielder but the financially fragile Humberside outfit may have no option but to cash in on their top young talent if they are relegated.

Brown gave Nottingham-born Cairney his first-team chance in cup ties this season and he made his Premier League debut at home to Wolves eight days ago.

He was so impressive that he kept his place for Tuesday’s draw with Chelsea, when he put in another accomplished performance.
