However, the road to a first-team position is complicated.
And Levitt is now in a position to pass on loan, with several league clubs excited, but the prodigy would also be open to moving abroad.
BEST LUCKY CREATORS
This is how the top artistic players in the Premier League can create opportunities.
ARE WE NEXT ON OUR LIST?
Manchester United would do it with Ousmane Dembele if he didn’t land Jadon Sancho.
Bayern Munich star Kingsley Coman and Juventus ace Douglas Costa are on the radar of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Barcelona would be open to the 23-year-old after their disappointing three-year season in Spain.
HIGGY STAR POWDER
Juventus would be offering Arsenal the national team of Gonzalo Higuaín, Douglas Costa or Cristian Romero in exchange for Alexandre Lacazette.
The Gunners are waiting for their payroll this summer, as they create budget for new signings.

And Athletic says new boss Andrea Pirlo is in a position to offer Mikel Arteta his three-man selection to facilitate a deal.
Higuain’s striker, who will turn 33 in December, will be interested in the north London group, the mix of his age and his maximum wages through an unattractive proposal.
He also claimed that it seemed unlikely that the costa end would head to Arsenal.
SANCHO WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE REQUEST
Jadon Sancho will NOT send a move request to David Ornstein.
He said on the Tifo Football podcast: “Dortmund is in a contractual situation.
‘I don’t think Jadon Sancho is the type to move the boat unless he’s desperate to get around and I had no indication that he was desperate to move.
“He’s a very professional footballer … and I think he’ll still play in Dortmund.
“He’s [Manchester United’s] first target, let’s not forget. They have backing features, some of those features would possibly be in the form of a permanent agreement, others can be loaned.
“One of the features is Juventus’ Douglas Costa. So it’s not Jadon Sancho or the bust, but it’s his first target.
LAST SANCHO
