Liverpool 'target 17-year-old Brazilian labelled as the next Neymar' as Jurgen Klopp looks to the future with transfer funds set to take a hit due to coronavirus pandemic

Liverpool are targeting young Brazilian sensation Talles Magno, who has been tagged as the 'next Neymar', to add to their roster of young stars.

Magno, 17, has already completed a full season in senior football with Brazilian club Vasco da Gama in the country's top flight Serie A. He is also a regular in the national under-17's side.

The 17-year-old is viewed as one of the best talents to come out of Brazil and plays in a similar role to Roberto Firmino in the Liverpool attack.

Vasco are facing some financial trouble, as the Rio de Janeiro-based club have been forced to raise funds to meet the debts that have grown over recent years - meaning the Reds could land their man without too much hassle.
