Sky Sports understands a host of Europe's top guns are tracking highly-rated Leicester City starlet Hamza Choudhury.

Choudhury has been earning rave reviews at Leicester and is regarded as one of the best young prospects to emerge at the club in recent years

The all-action midfielder has progressed through Leicester's academy and was recently named on the standby list for England's Under-18s.

The 16-year-old, who is already a regular in Leicester's under-18s side, has yet to sign a pro deal at the King Power Stadium.

The news has alerted a number of clubs to Choudhury's possible availability with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona all thought to be monitoring the midfield dynamo's situation.

Leicester are determined to keep hold of Choudhury and are battling to stave off the growing interest in the player by securing him on his first pro contract.
