West Ham United are reportedly poised to sign Waterford United teenager Sean Maguire.
The 18-year-old forward has also been scouted by Brighton & Hove Albion, Peterborough United and Derby County this season.
However, according to the Daily Mail, he is expected to move to Upton Park on a permanent deal in January after impressing coaches during a recent trial.
Maguire has been capped by the Republic of Ireland at Under-19 level.
