Liverpool midfielder Yan Dhanda is wanted on loan by Nottingham Forest, Leeds United and Bristol City.
The talented playmaker joined Liverpool from West Bromwich Albion's academy at 14 and became the first player of Indian heritage to sign a professional contract for the Anfield club in 2015.
Jurgen Klopp rates Dhanda highly after promoting him to train with the first team squad this year following a recommendation from assistant coach Pep Lijnders.

Klopp said: 'Probably we are the only club with an Indian player in the squad. Yan Dhanda is a very good player and hopefully he can come through.'
Liverpool are still assessing their squad going into the season but may be reluctant to let the 18-year-old Dhanda go out on loan for the season as he is out of contract next summer.
The Birmingham-born youngster is keen to play more competitive football but hopes to convince Klopp he can make a breakthrough at Liverpool.
