Angers Under-17 boss Laurent Viaud has admitted that a number of clubs are following the progress of youngster Rayan Ait Nouri.
Reports have suggested that Manchester City are one of the teams who are keen on the left-back, who has been tipped to quickly make the transition into the first team.
Viaud has claimed that there is going to be "so much nonsense" regarding Ait Nouri, but says that the 16-year-old is one of the best prospects that he has ever worked with.
The 48-year-old told Quest-France: "There are plenty of teams that are following him. We're going to hear so much nonsense, but the most interested team will be the one who will offer the most.
"When I worked for Liverpool, I saw kids like [Layvin] Kurzawa, [Timothee] Kolodziejczak, and honestly, Rayan Ait Nouri is better than them at his age. I wish for him to at least have a similar career to then."
Monaco and Atletico Madrid have also been credited with an interest in Ait Nouri.
