Liverpool have been linked with a move for Malcom of Bordeaux.
According to a report in the Liverpool Echo the 19-year-old has impressed Anfield scouts keen to capture the best emerging talent.
The young Brazilian is in his second season with Bordeaux and impressing in Ligue 1 after making a few tentative steps last season.
Jurgen Klopp has put an emphasis on youth in his scouting instructions with Liverpool unable to match the transfer fees and wages required to attract the elite players who can earn far more money elsewhere.
With Daniel Sturridge likely to be moving on at the end of the season Klopp will be looking to bring in at least one more striker for what he hopes will be a Champions League campaign.
Philippe Countinho recently signed a long term deal to stay at Anfield with the club hoping that they can use that example to attract other South Americans to Liverpool.
