Liverpool are tracking Nottingham Forest centre-half Jamaal Lascelles.
The People says Reds boss Brendan Rodgers sent top scout Dave Fallows to watch the classy defender for the second time in a fortnight in the FA Cup tie at Preston in midweek.
Lascelles, 20 - who scored for Forest at Blackpool yesterday - is a cert to play in the Premier League next season, either with Billy Davies' side or via a sale at the end of the campaign.
The strong but skilful prospect is also fancied by Arsenal but they chose not to bid in the transfer window.
