Mohamed Salah pictured with young star who has been training with Liverpool

Canadian teenager Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty has been pictured with Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah having recently been invited to train with the Reds.

The ECHO last week reported that the 17-year-old Toronto FC winger was having a stint on Merseyside as Liverpool look to compete with clubs across Europe circle for his signature.

Marshall-Rutty has already been spotted at Arsenal's training ground and has now taken the time to ask for a photograph with Salah after his latest visit to a Premier League side.

It remains to be seen as to which team will make the first move for the talented teenager, who has reached the end of his breakthrough season in the American top-flight.

A recent report from MLS Soccer claimed: "European interest in the wonderkid is plentiful, including from UEFA Champions League clubs."

Liverpool may have to remain patient should they target a deal for Marshall-Rutty, however, as Premier League and EFL clubs are no longer able to sign overseas players until they reach the age of 18.

Marshall-Rutty signed a first-team contract at Toronto at the age of 15 in January 2020 and made his debut as a substitute later that year, becoming the youngest-ever player to represent the team.
