Arsenal and Liverpool have tabled contract offers to Saint Etienne midfielder Rayan Souici.
The 17 year-old prospect is regarded highly inside French football and is yet to sign pro terms with Les Verts.
Foot Mercato says Arsenal and Liverpool, after monitoring Souici for much of the season, have tabled firm contract offers to his management.
Souici has stated he'd like to continue his career with Saint Etienne, but there remains a deal on the table unsigned.
There's now genuine concern inside the French club that Souici will quit for England in the summer.
