Man United, Liverpool in hunt for Turkish teen?

A quartet of Premier League heavyweights are reportedly battling it out to sign teenage prospect Omer Faruk Beyaz from Fenerbahce.

The 15-year-old is believed to have been watched by scouts from Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, as well as Championship side Aston Villa, in last week's Aegean Cup.

Beyaz scored four goals and registered a couple of assists in the tournament, with two of those strikes coming in the final against Spain as Turkey Under-16s went all the way.

According to The Mirror, Liverpool, Chelsea and the Manchester duo may now press ahead with an offer for the Turkish youngster.

However, the English sides are expected to face competition from Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and Stuttgart, who also had officials present to watch Beyaz up close.

Fenerbahce could cash in on the attacker, it is claimed, as he is able to sign professional terms with another team at the end of next season.
