LIVERPOOL left back James Norris is wanted by Huddersfield Town – after they failed in a deadline deal.
The Kop kid has impressed in the under-21 side, so the Terriers were told to wait.
James Norris has impressed a chasing Huddersfield but they were told to wait
Norris was born locally and even trained with the first team last week.
The 19-year-old has played six times for the U21s this season.
He came off the bench as Liverpool were downed by Salford City 2-1 in the EFL Trophy earlier this week.
He has represented England at youth team level.
Norris was practising with the full squad ahead of Saturday’s goalless draw with Everton in the Merseyside derby.
It was gritty derby display which saw the goalkeepers come out on top.
It could have been even worse for the Reds as VAR technology narrowly denied former Anfield trainee Conor Coady an opening goal with 20 minutes to go.
And Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson did superbly to keep out a late effort by home substitute Dwight McNeil.

But Blues ‘keeper Pickford made a number of excellent saves that ultimately stopped Liverpool from following up their dramatic win over Newcastle with another victory.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s new Spanish starlet Stefan Bajcetic is looking like a smart capture, leaving Manchester United and Chelsea with red faces.
The Kop babe has been on Jurgen Klopp’s bench already but the reason he joined the club a year ago is down to their willingness to take a chance on landing him as a kid.
Bajcetic joined Liverpool just before the new post Brexit rules came in and it could be one of the most well-timed transfers ever.
Both United and Chelsea had been tracking the top talent for months but decided against pursuing a move because of fears he would not be allowed into the country.
