Liverpool have sent scouts to watch Colorado Rapids defender Lucas Herrington, with Barcelona also reportedly interested in the Australian centre-back.

Herrington has emerged as one of the world’s most exciting young defenders after his rapid rise over the last couple of seasons.

The 18-year-old came through at Brisbane Roar before joining MLS side Colorado Rapids in January this year.

Since joining, Herrington has played every minute of every MLS game, with such form seeing him make his senior international debut in March.
