Liverpool are chasing Charlton Athletic winger Jonjo Shelvey.
The People says the Reds hope to tie up a quick deal for the attacking midfielder who has made almost 50 first team appearances for the Valiants, despite being just 18.
Shelvey has been linked with Chelsea and Arsenal since making his big breakthrough and also emerging through the international youth ranks.
However Liverpool - whose moves for top talent is being masterminded by Kenny Dalglish - expect to seal the transfer within weeks.
