West Ham United are being linked with an eleventh hour bid to sign Cliftonville teenager Sean Moore.
Several reports have suggested the Hammers are in talks with the Reds and have tabled a bid for the 17-year-old winger.
Any deal could see Moore loaned back to Cliftonville for the remainder of the season, with the North Belfast side currently leading the way in the Irish Premiership.

A number of other cross-channel clubs have been monitoring Moore's progress at Solitude, including Newcastle United, Everton, Brighton and Hove Albion and QPR.
Cliftonville boss Paddy McLaughlin was asked about Moore's future at the weekend, and insisted the player would be going nowhere this month.
He said: "I can understand the interest in Sean and the attention on him, because he is a class act and one of the best young players you will see coming out of the Irish League in a long time.
"We are very blessed to have him. He loves his football here and he loves what he is doing here.
"He knows how important it it for his development into a top player is to stay where he is, and there will be nobody leaving this club this side of Monday. Not a chance.
"I will make sure that happens, and I will make sure Sean Moore is still here come February 1...not unless there is some sheikh in Dubai wanting to empty his bank account.
"But Sean won't be leaving. His stock is rising, and rightly so. His performance here today again shows what all the fuss is about."
