As reported by The Mirror, Liverpool and Everton are interested in signing one of England's U20 World Cup winning starlets this January.

What's the story?

While both clubs haven't been shy in splashing the cash on established talents in recent transfer windows, it's always prudent to keep an eye on the upcoming stars of the future and the two Merseyside clubs have both settled on one player in particular.

The Mirror say both clubs are interested in signing Charlton defender Ezri Konsa, a 19 year old who has just completed his first season as a professional for the League One side.

With players like Joe Gomez and Ademola Lookman already moving from the Addicks to the city in recent years, the paper reckon the club are preparing for January offers for their latest talent.

Who is he?

Konsa has limited experience of course, but in his short time playing for Charlton has shown significant potential, even winning their Young Player Of The Season award last term as they finished mid-table in League One.

He was also part of England's U20 World Cup winning squad, making his youth international debut against Italy in the semi-final of the tournament.

It's important for Premier League clubs to secure the best young English talent available and Konsa falls into that category in his position.

With the versatility to play at centre-back, right-back and in midfield, he's shown he has the potential to be a top-flight calibre player, can the likes of Everton or Liverpool help him get there?
