Seattle Sounders midfielder Reed Baker-Whiting is being scouted by a number of Europe's biggest clubs, according to reports.

The 16-year-old, who represents the United States at youth level, has made four appearances for the Sounders this season.

Despite the small sample size, Baker-Whiting is catching the eye of clubs across the Atlantic.

MLSSoccer reports that Liverpool, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund have been scouting the youngster.

Sounders VP of soccer operations Craig Waibel said in May of Baker-Whiting: "Reed is a promising player with positional versatility, and the fact that he's been training with the first team for the better part of a year is a sign that at just 16 years of age, he's able to compete at the highest levels of our organisation."
