Liverpool have been successful in the transfer market in recent years. The club have spotted some diamonds in the rough and brought them in at bargain prices, they’ve also snapped up some of the most promising youngsters in the game. According to Netflu Liverpool hope to land Kayky thanks to the recent signing of Marcelo Pitaluga.
Who is Kayky?
According to Football Talent Scout, as quoted by Jogada 10, Kayky is a left footed Neymar.
The 17-year-old Brazilian winger is considered to be the best U17 player in Brazil at the moment.
That is some feat given the heaps of young talent constantly coming out of the South American nation.
This week has seen a flurry of reports from Netflu claiming Shakhtar Donetsk have made a bid for the youngster whilst Liverpool are also reported to be interested in the teenager.
Liverpool could land Kayky
According to Netflu, Liverpool could hold an advantage in the Kayky race.
The Reds believe that they can help convince the youngster by offering him a ‘career plan’.
The club also feel that they have the edge due to their good relationship with Fluminense.
Liverpool bought Marcelo Pitaluga from the Brazilian club last summer, meaning there’s an open channel between the two.
What RTK has to say
Liverpool landing Kayky could be huge for the Reds.
Whether we’ll manage to edge out competition from Shakhtar Donetsk remains to be seen.
His reputation is certainly exciting. Should he fulfil his potential then landing him early could prove a masterstroke.
We’ll be following this one closely.
