Tottenham and Liverpool interested in Crystal Palace whizkid Kian Flanagan
Irish 17-year-old is already playing for the Eagles' Under-23s and was eyed by Chelsea and Manchester United two years ago
CRYSTAL PALACE whizkid Kian Flanagan has attracted interest from Tottenham and Liverpool.
The midfielder, 17, has caught the eye of scouts by playing in the Under-23s instead of his Academy.
His progress has meant a call-up to the Republic of Ireland Under-18 squad earlier this season, and he has also trained with the first-team at Palace.
Liverpool, along with Chelsea and Manchester United, were among the teams looking at him two years ago when he emerged as a huge Academy talent.
The teenager chose to stay at Selhurst Park for a better chance of breaking into the first team.
But his performances have sparked interest in rival clubs in taking the youngster before he pushes himself into Sam Allardyce's plans.
