Premier League scouts have been keeping a watchful eye on a Middlesbrough talent.
Boro midfielder Hayden Hackney is said to be the subject of interest from several top sides.
The 21-year-old is being looked at by the likes of Nottingham Forest, Tottenham, Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs.
The England Under-21 star has four years remaining on his Boro contract, putting the club in a good position.
However, resisting big money offers from the Premier League will not be easy.
Hackney is a cultured midfielder who is a great ball carrier and has already made 100 appearances at club level.
