Liverpool reportedly close in on the signing of Newcastle United starlet Bobby Clark after Tottenham Hotspur reject the opportunity to sign him.

Liverpool have reportedly won the race to sign highly-rated Newcastle United youngster Bobby Clark.

The 16-year-old - son of ex-Newcastle United midfielder Lee Clark - famously made his debut for the Magpies' Under-18s side at the age of 14 in August 2019, coming on for the final eight minutes of a defeat to West Bromwich Albion.

However, Clark's progress at Newcastle is thought to have hit a brick wall, which has alerted top clubs to the teenage protege's availability.

According to Football Insider, Liverpool have seen off the competition to strike a deal for Clark, who is set to sign his contract imminently before linking up with the Reds' Under-18 side.

The report adds that Tottenham Hotspur were also scouting the attacking midfielder, but academy coach Paul Bracewell rejected the opportunity to sign him.

Clark earned a call-up to the England Under-16s earlier this year and was an unused substitute in a 3-2 friendly defeat to Wales.
