Liverpool and Tottenham are among the Premier League clubs keeping track of League Two Stevenage's 18-year-old defender Ben Wilmot.
Around 30 scouts attended Stevenage's Checkatrade Trophy tie with Brighton's Under 21s two weeks ago with the teenager appearing for the full 90 minutes.
The young centre half, who celebrated his 18th birthday this month, was also on the substitutes' bench on Tuesday night for their league game against Coventry.
His manager, Darren Sarll, said previously of Wilmot: 'He plays like a 30-year-old, he's got a wonderful, mature outlook on the game.
