NextGen star Alex PritchardLIVERPOOL FC are said to be leading the chase for one of Tottenham Hotspurs’ most coveted youth stars, Alex Pritchard, according to the London Evening Standard.

Reports emanating from the capital suggest that the Reds are considering a move for Pritchard, who is yet to sign a new deal with Spurs as he weighs up his future in North London, having yet to break into the first team squad under Andre-Villas Boas.

The attacking midfielder, who turns 20 in May, has caught the eye on numerous occasions whilst starring for Spurs in the NextGen series this season; most notably in their 4-1 defeat of Barcelona, and scoring twice versus German side Wolfsburg.

It is believed that Alex Inglethorpe, newly installed as the Reds’ reserve team coach, may attempt to convince Pritchard that his future lies in Liverpool, having been the youngster’s youth team coach at Spurs. Indeed it was Inglethorpe who presided over the impressive NextGen victory versus Barcelona, and has been key in the player’s development.

Should Liverpool swoop for Pritchard after his contract expires, no transfer fee would have to be paid; however the Reds would be forced to pay a compensation fee to Spurs, due to the player being developed through their academy.

If no fee can be agreed, an independent tribunal will decide the final amount.

Check out Pritchard in action below, scoring two excellent goals.

  • red says:

  • King Kenny II says:

    • Ian says:

      LOL now think about what you just said………………. Sure ,we will have the best youth team in the country – But a mid table cheap first team
      Fantastic strategy from FSG again . idiots !!!

      Ummmmmm so what happens when this BEST youth team in the country starts playing for the first team??? THINK before you type this drivel.
      We need to rebuild. We are in a mess and we need to be carefull with the new fair play rules etc also. Be a real fan and get behind your team.

      • simon says:

        LOL now thats such a stupid comment . Arsenal have been bringing through great youth for years ….. and what happens ? they leave in order to join a team capable of winning . Arsenal have a great manager too , we have a doughnut !
        Honestly , are there really fools out there soooooo naive they think the fair play thing will make one bit of difference ? wake up pal
        Be a real fan , get off your ar$e and try to get our owners to give us a decent manager , instead of being an apathetic fool and swallowing all the bull they send our way …. or we will end up like Villa

      • simon says:

        PS . think before you type out that kind of drivel , you just make yourself look silly

      • fotheringham says:

        you believe in fair play rules ? still believe in santa too ?

  • Kyle E. says:

    Yes who cares . If Rodgers picked him he is probably useless

  • Snake Plissken says:

    I was thinking ‘he must be yet another Brenda midget’ and then i clicked on the video and he IS! Has Brenda got a ‘Napoleon’ complex or something where he doesn’t sign players who are taller than him?

  • GAZ says:

    its not true . he has gone to Peterboro on loan … just more paper talk nonsense

  • Andy says:

    Signed a new contract I’m afraid lads. The boy has his head screwed on right

  • Big Will says:

    Hmmmmmm…….
    Where does all this negativity come from lads. you are making yourself depressed, man! Sure we still have some way to go, but really….? Are any of you guys really expecting overnight magic. Cant you see were moving in the right direction, and are closer to a cl-top 4 than in a very long time.

    “Always look on the briiiight siiide of life…. du, du,…. dipdi, dupti, du”!

    • fotheringham says:

      Dude , i could overdose on happy pills , smoke a pipe , and i still wouldn’t be delusional enough to think we are going in right direction

      worse record than Hodgson or Kenny last year , filling the team with weaklings and out of both cups . ???? ……oh , and haven’t beat 1 decent team ALL season ……. which direction is that ?
