Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Man City Enter Race For QPR's Nigerian Prodigy

Four Premier League clubs have joined the race for the services of talented Nigerian striker Eberechi Eze, according to reports.

The Queens Park Rangers wonderkid in being courted by multiple topflight clubs thanks to a string of fine displays for the Championship side, and The Sun's print edition is now reporting that Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City sent scouts to QPR's 4-1 win against Norwich City on Monday.

Eze did not disappoint the scouts in attendance at Loftus Road Stadium as he was among the four players that wrote their names on the score-sheet, his second league goal for the London team.

Representatives from Crystal Palace and Brighton and Hove Albion were also in the stands to run the rule over the 19-year-old offensive all-rounder.

Eze will enter the final twelve months of his contract with Queens Park Rangers in July, and it is thought he would be offered a new deal to fend off interest from the Premier League giants or they may decide to sell him at the right price.

Last year, he was in line to make his debut for the Super Eagles at the age of 18, only for the friendly against Burkina Faso to be called off.

Born in London, Eze played for the youth teams of Arsenal, Fulham and Millwall before he was acquired by QPR in the summer of 2016.
