Manchester City are monitoring highly-rated Leicester City centre-back Ben Nelson.
The 18-year-old has been included in first team squads over the past year under Brendan Rodgers and is tipped to make a breakthrough this season.
A tall and physical defender, Nelson, who has been capped previously by Scotland at international youth level, is due to travel with England U18s this week as they take on Wales, Austria and Croatia in Zagreb.
Manchester City, like many of the Premier League's elite clubs, are looking to bolster their ranks with top homegrown talent in the wake of Brexit and new recruitment guidelines.
