Joao Gomes could be the next Brazilian to grace the Premier League having declared his interest in moving to Liverpool.
The highly-rated midfield plies his trade in his homeland with Flamengo but appears to have ambitions that extend beyond playing in South America. At just 21, he already has over 100 appearances for his current outfit, with his stock on the rise.
Manchester United have been credited with interest, but Gomes has namechecked Liverpool as the side he would most like to move to if he did head to England's top flight. “Liverpool are a team I’d play for. I have the greatest desire to play. Playing in the Champions League is my biggest dream and that of my family, my biggest dream in football," he said in a Q&A on social media.
