European champions Liverpool have reportedly made a bid for in-demand Chateauroux starlet Razak Boukari.
The 18-year-old has also attracted interest from Tottenham and Chelsea, but The Reds have reputedly stolen a march on their rivals by tabling a £1.5 million offer.
Liverpool are in the market for a winger and the French youth international is believed to have caught the eye of Rafa Benitez.
Boukari claims that he has spoken to Liverpool, and that the London clubs are yet to follow up their initial interest with a firm approach.
"Chateauroux have had a bid from Liverpool," Boukari is quoted as saying in The News of the World.
"I've talked with their directors, they're a big club.
"Tottenham and Chelsea have come to watch me but I've not heard any news from them."

Firstly I like that we are linked with players that are chased by good clubs, and more importantly that Raffa continues looking for players of the future which tells you what his plans are for the club.
