Dundee United youngster Lewis O’Donnell is reportedly being scouted by Ipswich Town, according to the Daily Record.
The 18-year-old has impressed on loan at Kelty Hearts in Scottish League One so far this season and the Blues are said to have been watching him regularly in recent weeks.
He recently had his loan extended until the end of the season but is out-of-contract in the summer at the Tannadice outfit and United would be entitled to nominal training compensation.

Keep it up, Lewis 💪
The deep-lying midfielder would likely be signed as one for the future and link up with John McGreal's Under-21s side.
O’Donnell is product of the Tannadice club's youth academy and featured for them during pre-season before heading out on loan for the first time.

Championship rivals Watford and Norwich City have both watched O’Donnell this season and are also watching his situation closely.
Town have a current youngster on loan at the same level in Cameron Stewart, who is at Cove Rangers.
