Henry Onyekuru scored his seventeenth goal of the season watched by scouts from Liverpool and Southampton.

According to a report in the Daily Mail the Eupen striker is being watched on a regular basis with his 17th goal of the season coming against Kortrijk.

Celtic made an enquiry about Onyekuru in January but his scoring run has taken him out of the hoops price range even though they can offer Champions League football.

The 19-year-old scored the goals last season that sent Eupen to promotion and hasn’t relented since moving up into the top tier of the Belgian game.

Eupen are resigned to losing their top scorer in the summer and are hoping that a bidding war breaks out to maximise the transfer fee.

Liverpool are regarded as favourites to sign the striker but won’t get things all their own way with West Brom, West Ham and Bournemouth also expected to be bidding in the summer.
