The 17-year-old, who is a England youth international, is being tipped for a bright future in the game and losing him will be a blow for the Blues.
He has risen up through the academy ranks and was a regular at various youth levels before making the step up into the first-team. The teenager has made 26 appearances for the senior team in all competitions to date, 23 of which came in the last campaign.
West Brom boss eyed
West Brom boss Carlos Corberan is a ‘candidate’ for the vacant Leeds United as the Whites hunt for their replacement for Sam Allardyce, as per a report by The Telegraph. The Yorkshire club have been relegated from the Premier League and will be hoping to make an immediate return to the top flight next term, with Steven Gerrard and Scott Parker also mentioned as potential managerial contenders for the hotseat.
Corberan worked at Elland Road from 2017 and 2020 before his spells at Huddersfield Town and Olympiacos. The Spaniard has been a hit since moving to the Hawthorns and the Baggies will be desperate to keep hold of him.
