Liverpool are said to be keeping a very close eye on Flamengo’s highly-rated midfield star Joao Gomes ahead of the winter window.
To the point that he has possibly influenced the Tuttomercatoweb report which claims the Reds could send Arthur Melo back to Turin just three months into his Anfield career.
We’d like to think that it’s too early for Jurgen Klopp to have made a definitive call on what the former Barcelona star can bring to the team.
Nonetheless, it’s worth paying close attention to the recruiting team’s efforts this winter, as Empire of the Kop received information about the 26-year-old’s compatriot from Brazilian journalist Julio Miguel Neto.
