A number of Premier League ‘elite’ clubs are ready to deploy scouts back to Germany when football finds a way to restart safely, with the focus all going towards Schalke’s 19-year-old defender Bradley Cross.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are all keeping tabs on the South African starlet, who is actually on-loan at Schalke from his native homeland club Bidvest Wits.

Cross has yet to feature for the Schalke senior side, but has been impressive for their U19 squad and is of particular interest to English clubs due to his UK passport, which would make a move for the youngster a whole lot easier.

Bradley Cross’ loan deal at Schalke ends when this season eventually concludes and will return to South Africa, but with so much interest in the young defender it’s unlikely he’ll be returning for too long.
