Premier League clubs linked with Parma star

A number of Premier League clubs are believed to be tracking the progress of Parma starlet Ishak Belfodil.

The 20-year-old, who has two caps for the French Under-20 side, has notched seven goals in 21 starts in Serie A this season.

According to TransferMarketWeb.com, Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has sent scouts to watch the Algerian-born striker on three occasions, while Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are also said to be interested.

Belfodil arrived at the Stadio Ennio Tardini from Ligue 1 side Lyon for €2.5m (£2.1m) last summer.
