Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is preparing to step up his interest in highly rated Crewe striker Max Clayton, according to reports in the Daily Mail.
The 17-year-old has been in impressive form for Crewe in their FA Youth Cup run and last weekend in the league he scored in Crewe's 2-1 win over Morecambe and has already represented England at Under 17's level.
During the course of the season a number of scouts from top Premier League clubs including, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham have been to watch Clayton.
However it is believed that Liverpool boss Dalglish and the clubs director of football Damien Comolli are admirers of the young striker and are leading the chase for Clayton who is seen as one of the countries brightest prospects and are getting ready to table an offer of around £10million.
Crewe's director of football Dario Gradi believes Clayton will develop more if he is to gain experience at the League Two side.
However with Clayton's impressive performances Crewe will find it hard to resist the offers from the Premier League big boys that come in for their prized asset once the January transfer window opens.
