Some of the biggest clubs in the world have been scouting Seattle Sounders Homegrown Player Reed Baker Whiting, according to a report at MLSsoccer.com. Among the teams reportedly showing interest in the 16-year-old midfielder are Liverpool, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund.
A team source said they were unaware of any direct inquiries about Baker-Whiting, but did lend credence to the report by noting that several younger players in the organization were being actively scouted by European teams.
That European teams may be keeping an eye on Baker-Whiting without showing more formalized interest would make a good deal of sense, though, as he’s unable to be registered by a foreign team until he turns 18.
