Liverpool, Queens Park Rangers chase Barcelona youngster?

Liverpool and Queens Park Rangers are said to be in competition for the signature of Barcelona forward Gerard Deulofeu.

The 18-year-old was part of the Spain team that won the European Under-19 Championship earlier this month.

Liverpool want to bring Deulofeu to Anfield on a permanent deal, while QPR are hopeful of negotiating a loan move, according to The People.

Deulofeu made his La Liga debut as a second-half substitute in Barca's 5-0 win over Mallorca last season.
