Liverpool FC are weighing up a move for highly-rated Gremio midfielder Matheus Biteco.

The 18-year-old is valued by the Brazilian club at around £5m, and caught the eye of Reds scouts at the recent Toulon U20 tournament.

Biteco is viewed as one for the future, rather than a player who could slot straight in at first-team level.

Liverpool expect to confirm the signing of Barcelona's 16-year-old Sergi Canos next week.

The midfielder will join the club's Academy. A deal to sign Valencia teenager Pedro Chirivella is also likely.
