Liverpool are tracking Marseille teenager Maxime Lopez, dubbed the 'new Samir Nasri'.

That is according to French outlet Le Parisien, who say Arsenal are also interested in the 18-year-old prospect.

Attacking midfielder Lopez made his first start for the French side just over a week ago and was watched by scouts from Anfield.

Teammate and former Newcastle midfielder Florian Thauvin said: “He played a great match. It’s not a surprise for me. We know his qualities.

“He’s a very good player and has a very bright future. He was able to show everyone the extent of his talents.”
