Liverpool are considering a move for Leeds United starlet Alex Mowatt.

Brendan Rodgers has reportedly sent scouts to assess the England youth international.

And the Reds boss is keeping a close eye on the 20-year-old with a view to a move in the summer.

However, they will have to battle with rivals Everton as well as West Ham, as they too have extensively watched his progress at Elland Road.

But it will be difficult to secure his signature considering Leeds owner Massimo Cellino is currently banned from the Football League.

According to the Daily Mirror, Cellino could return at the end of the season and would demand at least £5million for Mowatt.
