Liverpool want to sign England youth striker John Cofie from rivals Manchester United.
Cofie, 17, born in Ghana, joined United from Burnley two years ago and is rated one of Sir Alex Ferguson's best emerging strikers - he is already in the reserve team picture.
But the Kop was his preferred destination before he left Burnley and he may be tempted to quit Old Trafford for Anfield, where he could be fast-tracked into the first team as the club are desperate to land top young talent to build a new team.
Liverpool signed QPR kid Raheem Sterling from under United's noses last month and could now pluck another gem from their grasp this summer.
