Stoke City are believed to be showing considerable interest in Falkirk youngster Jay Fulton.
Potters scouts watched the 19-year old in the Bairns' 3-1 win over Greenock Morton last weekend and will continue to keep an eye on his progress.
Bolton-born Fulton has been part of Falkirk's senior side since 2011 and was also capped by the Scotland U19 side last year.
