Leicester City face battle to keep hold of prolific teenager - with Nottingham Forest among the clubs interested in starlet who scored 41 last season

Nottingham Forest are monitoring developments with Leicester City's highly rated youngster Lorenz Hutchinson.

The 17-year-old forward has been in prolific form for Leicester's U18s over the past two seasons and staff at the club are excited by his potential and the prospect they could have another future star on their hands from the academy.

Talks have been taking place over a professional contract; however, Mail Sport understands that, with an agreement still to be reached, a number of Premier League clubs have been alerted by his situation.

Midlands neighbours Nottingham Forest are among those who are well aware of Hutchinson and are watching developments.
