Rodgers leading the chase to sign Saint-Etienne wonderkid Rayan Souici
The Reds, Gunners and Man City are all keeping tabs on the 16-year-old after his rise to fame in Ligue 1 in recent times.
Yet the Daily Mail reports that it is the Merseysiders who have moved ahead in the race to land Souici and are hoping to tie the teenager down to a three-year deal.
The midfielder has six caps for the France Under-16s side.
