West Ham and Liverpool are both keeping tabs on promising Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Ballo Toure Fode, according to Foot Mercato.

The 19-year-old is yet to sign his first professional contract with the French capital city giants, despite being on the Parc des Princes outfit’s books since the age of 11.

Fode only has a year remaining on his trainee deal and as such a host of English clubs are believed to be in the running to snatch him away from Laurent Blanc’s men.

The starlet is a left midfielder that is also versatile enough to feature at left-back and has impressed for PSG’s reserve and youth rank sides.

West Ham have been quick to snatch up a number of young starlets in recent times and are clearly looking to bolster their youth ranks by scouting top talent from across the continent.

The report suggests that Manchester City, Southampton and Stoke are also in the running for Fode’s signature.
