As the summer transfer window approaches, the rumour mill is already in full swing, with several players being linked with a move to the Premier League champions-elect, Liverpool.
One of those is Real Betis starlet Jesus Rodriguez, who is reportedly attracting interest from a number of English clubs.
According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United are all monitoring the 19-year-old.
It’s been suggested that all four clubs have recently scouted the teenager and have been impressed by his development in Spain.
While Betis are keen to keep Rodriguez beyond the summer, a substantial offer from the Premier League could force their hand.

Rodriguez, born in Seville in 2005, is a winger known in Spain for his blistering pace, physicality, and impressive dribbling.
He has spent his entire career in his homeland so far, starting out at local side AD Nervion before joining Betis' youth set-up in 2021.
After a spell with Betis’ reserve team between 2023 and 2024, Rodriguez was handed his senior La Liga debut towards the end of last year, a matter of days after his 19th birthday.
In early March, he won the decisive penalty in a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid.
Rodriguez is also a Spanish youth international, with appearances for both the under-19 and under-21 sides.
He last signed a contract extension with Betis in September of last year, meaning his current deal runs until the summer of 2029.

Widespread reports suggest Rodriguez has a release clause in the region of €50 million (£43m), which could dissuade potential suitors due to his age and the fact he remains a relatively unknown talent.
