A number of Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones.
After joining the club at the age of nine, Jones rose through Liverpool's youth ranks before making his senior debut in an EFL Cup game against MK Dons in September 2019.
The 23-year-old has gone on to make 122 competitive appearances for his hometown club, scoring 16 goals and providing 14 assists.
Jones has been heavily involved in the first-team squad this season, registering five goals and three assists in 25 matches in all competitions.
While he has contributed to Liverpool's impressive campaign, his performances have also caught the attention of clubs from around the country.

According to the Daily Mail, several Premier League sides are showing a keen interest in the former England Under-21 international.
The report claims that some teams in the South of England are among those who are keeping tabs on the player's progress at Liverpool.
Following Thursday's transfer deadline, any attempt to sign Jones will have to wait until the window reopens at the end of the season.
However, Liverpool are under no pressure to sell their academy product, with his contract set to run in the summer of 2027.

Jones is also believed to be central to Liverpool's future plans when Jurgen Klopp leaves his position as manager at the end of the current campaign.
The midfielder will be currently focused on Sunday's Premier League game against title rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Having started in each of Liverpool's last three top-flight matches, Jones is expected to retain his place in the lineup for the crucial fixture.
After racking up 51 points from their 22 matches, Liverpool currently sit top of the Premier League table with a five-point lead over Manchester City and Arsenal.
