The 19 year old Juventud forward has been dubbed the ‘New Luis Suarez’ and as such it’s no surprise he has been linked with a move to Anfield and given Brendan Rodgers penchant for bringing in top young talents there is perhaps a good chance the Liverpool manager would look to land the teenager.
Liverpool have struggled for goals this term with new signings Mario Balotelli and Rickie Lambert failing to make an impact since their respective arrivals whilst Daniel Sturridge has missed much of the campaign through injury.
