A Copa Libertadores-winning midfielder has revealed his desire to join Liverpool after admitting his admiration for Thiago Alcantara.
Flamengo star Joao Gomes helped his current side to glory on Saturday, with a tense 1-0 victory against fellow Brazilian team Athletico Paranaense.

And the player himself has done nothing to dampen that speculation, by identifying the Reds as a club he would like to play for.
