Premier League leaders Liverpool have reportedly contacted Fluminense over the availability of young striker Evanilson who’s on their radar ahead of the January transfer window.
The interest of Liverpool in Evanilson was confirmed by Brazilian football correspondent Robbie Blakely who told Football Whispers that the Merseyside giants can sign Evanilson for just £4m.
Evanilson is attracting the interest of European clubs after he finished as the topscorer in the Brazilian u-20 league.
He also had a short spell with Slovakian club Samorin and scored three goals in six matches during that time.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has talked up the possibility of signing a new striker in January especially if young attacker Rhian Brewster leaves the club on loan and Evanilson could be an option for the Reds.
Rhian Brewster is attracting a lot of interest from English clubs and non-English teams.
The Liverpool striker has been linked with top English Championship teams like Leeds United and Swansea City, while Premier League teams Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are also keen on a loan move for the 19-year-old.
Borussia Dortmund and fellow German side Borussia Moenchengladbach are also in the running for Rhian Brewster.
