A host of Premier League clubs including Liverpool have been linked with Hertha Berlin wonderkid Kennet Eichhorn, who's burst onto the scene this season at the tender age of 16Liverpool are said to have joined the race to sign teenage prodigy Kennet Eichhorn after Hertha Berlin indicated that he's available for £17 million. He has a huge career ahead of him.Hertha boss Stefan Leitl echoed those comments, adding: "I couldn't care less whether he's 16 or 17.
