Liverpool and Tottenham are set to battle Real Madrid for the signature of highly-rated teenager M'Baye Niang, The People has reported.
The 16-year-old forward is reportedly being tracked by the two Premier League clubs and both are hoping to bring him to England. However, Real sporting director Zinedine Zidane is also aware of Niang and is keen to take him to Spain.
Despite his young age, the striker is part of the Caen first-team and has made the starting line-up in the club's first two games this season. He has also represented France at Under-16 and Under-17 level.
His bright start to his career has alerted Liverpool, Spurs and Real but Caen are reluctant to sell him. Real, though, are thought to be keen on reaching an agreement that would see Niang continue his development in France before moving to the Bernabeu when he is older.
Liverpool and Tottenham would need to make an even better offer if they are to convince the promising youngster to snub Real and opt for a move to England.
