Chelsea and Manchester United are among the Women’s Super League clubs chasing the signature of England U19 international Poppy Pritchard ahead of the January transfer window.
The forward currently plays for Championship side Durham and has 21 goals for the U21 side, first team and England U19 combined.
Pritchard turned 18 on December 3 so is eligible to sign a professional contract and has interest from Chelsea, Manchester United, Brighton, Leicester and Bristol City.
United have a long-standing interest but this ramped up when Pritchard netted a hat-trick against their development side in November.
