Liverpool and Tottenham have turned their attention to Birmingham forward Demarai Gray after cooling their interest in West Brom’s Saido Berahino.

Gray has captured widespread interest from Premier League clubs and has become the Championship’s hottest young property with his displays this season.

And with West Brom looking for more than £20million for Berahino, Gray – at £5m – is seen as being far better value for money.

But there could be competition for the 18-year-old winger from Arsenal, Newcastle and Everton, who have also sent scouts to keep tabs on him.

A recent hat-trick against Reading thrust him even more into the spotlight.

So far the only bid for Gray has come from fellow Championship side Bournemouth, whose top offer of £2m was flatly rejected.

The Midlands club insist they are in no rush to sell him but, if an auction develops as the big guns’ interest grows, a £5m bid could secure the deal.
