Saint Etienne youngster Rayan Souici is attracting interest from England.

France Football says Arsenal and Liverpool are battling for the 16 year-old, who could be on the move from France next month.

The France U17 international plays as a defensive midfielder.

Souici admits former Manchester United and current Juventus star Paul Pogba is his hero.

"I have a model that I admire every day, it's Paul Pogba. Before my matches, I watch videos of him, he really is an exceptional player."
