We have a young lad called Ally Graham who's not long turned 16 that's getting absolutely incredible hype. Just received his first call up for the U17s Scotland squad. He was training with Nottingham Forest, Newcastle & Southampton last season and indeed, Football Insider reported that he'd agreed a deal with Forest but that doesn't seem to have transpired: Exclusive: Nottingham Forest agree deal to sign Ally Graham in Newcastle blow (footballinsider247.com)

He went on trial with Arsenal just last week.

Hopefully one to keep an eye on over the next 6-7 year.

He might get a game at club level in 6-7 years time if he goes south

Worth mentioning this was Ross Sinclair 6 years ago, apart from it being Liverpool he had his trial at.

Not a goalkeeper but sounds exactly like Matthew Knox as well. Called up (and played) for the U17s when he was 15, trials with Rangers, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham amongst others. Even after getting binned from his loan to Berwick who were bottom of league 2 at the time he was getting trials for MLS and top flight Swedish clubs. Now 24 and playing for Musselburgh.

Hopefully turns out a bit better for Ally Graham.

They wouldn't have been allowed to sign him at 15 unless he was moving to England coincidentally (parent moving for work for instance). You aren't allowed to move an u16 between countries so if he didn't turn 16 until after the window closed he wouldn't be able to move until January. Might be it's all agreed but just couldn't happen yet. Or of course it might be Football Insider just jumped the gun and nothing's agreed yet.

There are significant hoops to jump through before an u18 can change country too albeit a Premiership club will have no issue complying with them.

I was on my L2 Goalkeeping course with Scott Findlay 4 years ago and he was raving about Ross Sinclair, said he would "100% be a Scotland Internationalist at some point".

Must admit to having only seen Sportscene highlights of him, and the odd Sky Sports appearance, but he seems a long way off the Scotland setup at the moment.

He effectively lost 2 years to injury, so it's hard to know what level he'll end up being now.

Currently first choice it seems so he likely gets until January to prove himself.
