Rory Wilson's 40 Rangers goal heroics has Manchester United and Liverpool battling to win transfer race

Rangers goal machine Rory Wilson is being tracked by a trio of English Premier League heavyweights after an incredible season.

The 16-year-old is wanted by Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City targeting a move for a player who has netted an astonishing 40 times at youth level.

Highly-rated Wilson, who has featured in the Lowland League and UEFA Youth League would cost potential suitors around £300,000 in compensation.

The Daily Star report a host of scouts will get the chance to run the rule over the forward when he stars for Scotland's U17s against Germany on Saturday.

They state Wilson is willing to move on from Rangers and will reject a professional contract. Newcastle and Leeds are also understood to be keen.

Scottish football has become an increasingly attractive market for some of the biggest clubs in world football with a host of rising stars heading to both England and Germany.

Celtic academy star Ben Doak is the latest set to head south as he closes in on a switch to Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

But the Reds face a double fight from Manchester if they are also to convince Wilson that his future is with the six-time champions of Europe.
