Liverpool have reportedly identified AS Nancy wonderkid Bilel Hassaini as a potential summer signing.

The French side are prepared to move ahead of Arsenal in the pursuit of the 18-year-old by making a bid for the teenager.

According to Foot Mercato, the Gunners are among the suitors interested in the youngster but have yet to make a formal bid, prompting Liverpool to lead ahead of the north Londoners by making an offer of their own.

PSG also made an approach for the Frenchman, and were reportedly willing to spend £300,000 but didn’t happen.

Hassaini is yet to agree fresh terms with ASNL amid interest from a number of top European heavyweights.
