Manchester United are among a number of clubs closely monitoring the development of Blackburn Rovers' Northern Irish and English defender Tom Atcheson, who recently signed a new long-term deal with his club. According to TEAMtalk, growing interest could still challenge Blackburn's determination to keep the player, with the outlet revealing that Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Sunderland, Everton, Brentford, and Brighton & Hove Albion have all inquired about the 19-year-old. Interest from Europe is also reportedly increasing, where Bundesliga sides RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are tracking his progress, while Serie A clubs Atalanta and Napoli have been monitoring his situation. Atcheson has one cap for Northern Ireland. This season, he has made 9 appearances in Premier League 2 and 8 appearances in the Championship.
