Liverpool are among the clubs watching French sensation Jean-Kevin Duverne, according to France Football.

The Lens defender, 19, has been compared to his compatriot Raphael Varane, who is playing for Real Madrid.

Tottenham, Newcastle, Southampton and Sunderland are also believed to have scouted Duverne as interest in his services rises.

A bidding war could be launched in January, but Liverpool appear to be in line to make the most lucrative offer.
