Wait 5 sec.

Liverpool have been named among several clubs who reportedly had scouts watching a highly-rated teenage talent in a seven-goal thriller last weekend.The Reds have had a keen eye for snapping up some gifted youngsters across the UK in recent years, bringing the likes of Ben Gannon-Doak, Kaide Gordon and Rio Ngumoha to Anfield.Another such example is the capture of Trey Nyoni from Leicester three years ago, and there’s another midfield gem for the Foxes who’s caught the eye among the Merseyside recruitment team.Liverpool scouts watched Louis Page shine for LeicesterAccording to TEAMtalk, Liverpool had scouts in attendance as Russell Martin’s side defeated Stockport 4-3 in their League One clash at Edgeley Park on Saturday, with Borussia Dortmund, Everton, Newcastle, Sunderland and both Manchester clubs also sending a delegation to the game.The subject of such widespread interest was Louis Page, the 18-year-old midfielder who claimed two assists for Leicester, setting up their first and fourth goals for Liam Cullen and John Lundstram respectively.(Photo by Richard Pelham/Getty Images)Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
