Premier League rivals eyeing West Brom prospect Jonathan Leko

West Bromwich Albion's 15-year-old striker Jonathan Leko is attracting big Premier League interest.

The Express & Star says Leko is tipped to be the next star to emerge from the Baggies' ever-improving academy.

He has started four of Albion's five Under-21 Premier League games this season and has been monitored by England's biggest clubs, who are now pondering a move.

And that will set alarm bells ringing for Baggies fans, who have already seen a trio of their club's best young players leave in recent seasons.

Izzy Brown joined Chelsea for a nominal fee, after appearing as a substitute in the Baggies first-team.

Yan Dhanda and Jerome Sinclair, who had not progressed into the senior ranks, joined Liverpool for just £209,000 each in compensation.
