A Sydney teenager is attracting interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

Sky Sports UK is reporting that Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and several of the Premier League’s biggest clubs are closely tracking 15-year-old Australian Xane Zaineddine, who has impressed at Watford since joining the Championship club last year.

Sky Sports reports that the attacking midfielder or striker, who was offered a spot at Barcelona and AC Milan’s academies before moving to Watford, has turned heads for their under-16s since moving with his family to London last year.

Zaineddine is Watford’s top scorer this season and competed for the club in the Dale Farm Milk Cup earlier this year.

The report also links Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Sporting Lisbon as potential suitors. Watford are reportedly keen to keep the young Australian, who has only been on their books for 18 months.

Zaineddine’s last club in Sydney was Ryde Saints United in 2013, while he also was part of Football NSW’s Skilleroos program and played in the NSW National Championships in 2012 for NSW Metro under-13s.

He was a member of Enfield Rovers Futsal Club, where Brett Holman played, and won the under 12s premiership after defeating Mascot Vipers in the grand final.

“He had a lot more flair than everyone,” Enfield head coach Dominic Castro told Fox Sports. “He was a typical number 10, naturally gifted.

“I wouldn’t say he was head and shoulders above everyone else, but he was certainly never afraid to take players on. It didn’t matter their size or skill. He wasn’t afraid of anyone.”

Zaineddine attended Thomas Hassall Anglican College near Liverpool.

He also played for Sydney City’s futsal team alongside Dimi Petratos in 2010.
