Liverpool scouting Keir McMeekin

However, Hearts are vulnerable to interest from English Premier League clubs - who would be able to take McMeekin on a scholarship contract before then.

According to the Edinburgh News, Liverpool are among the leading contenders for McMeekin - along with Manchester City, Manchester United and Brighton.

The same outlet reports that City have stolen a march on their rivals with an OFFER to Hearts for McMeekin.

McMeekin not made his mind up

It also claims that other clubs have made their attempts to secure his signature. However, in a boost for Liverpool, it’s been confirmed that McMeekin has not yet decided on his next steps.

“McMeekin and his family visited Manchester for a tour of City’s plush facilities as English Premier League sides look to tempt him south of the Border,” the report reads.

“He is exploring his options at this point and also travelled to two other top-flight teams in England for talks as he weighs up his next move. City are one of several clubs to make a formal offer to Hearts to cover training compensation for the talented 15-year-old.”
