Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City are all reportedly interested in signing Saint-Etienne midfielder Rayan Souici.
The 16-year-old, who has been compared to Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, is widely regarded as one of the best youngsters in European football.
Monaco were said to lead the race for the teenager, but according to the Daily Mail, Souici favours a move to the Premier League.
It is believed that the English trio will make initial approaches early next month.
The France Under-16 international is primarily a defensive midfielder.
