Liverpool defender Joe Gomez being tracked by Premier League new boys Brighton

Bournemouth and Celtic are also watching the former Charlton starlet's situation with a view to a summer move

LIVERPOOL starlet Joe Gomez is a target for new Premier League rivals Brighton.

The 20-year-old England youth-team star only moved to Anfield in 2015 for £3.5million but a knee injury has limited his first-team contribution.

The defender only played seven times the previous campaign before he suffered a cruciate ligament injury playing for England Under-21s in October 2015.

Bournemouth have also looked at Gomez as Eddie Howe looks to strengthen his side.

Howe wants to sign Gomez for £10m or take him on loan for the next campaign.

The Cherries boss has already taken wingers Jordon Ibe and Brad Smith from Anfield and is a fan of the way the club develop talent.

And there is also competition from north of the border where Brendan Rodgers – who was the Kop boss when Gomez joined – wants to lure him to Celtic.
