As the January transfer window approaches, the media rumour mill is starting to warm up again with reports of possible upcoming big-money moves. As usual, Liverpool are likely to be linked to a whole host of names, and have already been rumoured to be targeting Aly Cissokho, Philippe Coutinho and Seydou Keita.
Another player Kenny Dalglish is said to be interested in is Sao Paulo’s Brazilian midfielder Lucas, full name Lucas Rodrigues Moura da Silva. According to reports, the Reds are prepared to offer £20 million for the 19-year-old, who is also a target for Manchester United, Real Madrid and AC Milan.
But is he worth the money? Club owners Fenway Sports Group have already shown they are willing to splash out big funds on youngsters with potential, bringing in the likes of Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson for considerable amounts. And the case for signing Lucas is strenthened by the fact that he has arguably shown much more potential than either of those two.
Having made his professional debut for Sao Paulo just last year, Lucas has since gone on to become a key player for the side. He made 25 appearances in the Brazilian Championship, the Campeonato Brasileiro, last season, and has again been a regular during this campaign, scoring eight goals in the process.
He was also a part of the Brazil Under-20 side which won the South American Youth Championship in Peru earlier this year, where he scored four goals in nine appearances. These impressive displays saw him earn a call up to the senior side, and he made his debut against Scotland in March.

Hmmmm he is an exciting potential super star and I would probably make an attempt to sign if I was in charge but one word of caution: for for the background of this Lucas now compare it to the background of our Lucas before we signed him. The autobiography would read identical so far but our Lucas couldn’t translate the as an attacking midfielder in our league and same could happen again.
The Fenway Group must have a lot more money than judgement if they are prepared to allow Dalglish to sign again after his simply dreadful summer of madness.Henderson..Adam..Downing..Carroll..ye gods! United fans are laughing their heads off and no wonder.
he wil be more better in red top welcom to liverpool YNWA
Martin Badger those players Kenny and Comolli signed for us just helped our boys beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge partcularly Adam (£6 million BARGAIN) and Henderson who was really impressive off the bench and helped us get back into the second half. This is a new team with 9 players at the club for less than a year and main three coaching staff the same things are coming together and we are right up there. A few more correct decisions from officials or a bit more luck and we’d be in 2nd only a point or 2 off City so shut up and go back to championship manager or wherever you came from.
