Fulham are lining up a move for Liverpool
starlet Gary MacKay-Steven, skysports.com
understands.
MacKay-Steven is set to leave Liverpool in the summer when his
contract expires.
The news has alerted a host of clubs to the availability of the
highly-rated winger.
Liverpool beat a number of top clubs to MacKay-Steven's
signature in 2007 from Ross County after he impressed on trial at
Anfield.
The 18-year-old has seen his time on Merseyside disrupted by
injuries which have hampered his chances of breaking into the
first-team pciture.
The skilful wide-man has been a regular in the reserves and he
has also played for Scotland at all youth levels.
Fulham are ready to steal a march on their rivals for
MacKay-Steven by inviting him down to West London to train with
them.
The player's agent David Threlfall confirmed Fulham are keen to
have a look at the young Scot and that a number of clubs are
monitoring MacKay-Steven's situation.
"Fulham have shown an interest in Gary and they have invited him
down to London next week to have a look at him," Threlfall told
skysports.com.
"I believe a number of other clubs are keeping tabs on Gary and
we will see how things go at Fulham."
