The Reds and Spurs are among a string of clubs eager to sign the 20-year-old Wales midfielder in January.

Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino are in a £20million battle to land Sheffield United’s exciting midfielder David Brooks.

A host of top-flight teams are chasing Brooks, 20, but Tottenham ’s Pochettino and Liverpool boss Klopp are leading the race to snap him up in the January window.

The Warrington-born starlet’s man-of-the-match performance on his full Wales debut against Panama in Cardiff last Tuesday has convinced the pair to swoop.

The Blades have given him a new four-year deal to safeguard against losing Brooks on the cheap.
