Liverpool fan and talkSPORT’s Eastern European football commentator Alexey Yaroshevsky has given fans a more in-depth look at our prospective January signing Alex Teixeira.
The BBC confirm that we’ve made a £24.5m bid for the 26-year-old Brazilian, who’s scored 26 goals in all competitions this season from an attacking midfield position.
Bar perhaps the odd Champions League highlights package though, most Reds will not have seen much of the talented playmaker.
But Yaroshevsky reckons we should be very, very excited – comparing Teixeira to Luis Suarez – and claiming he’s ‘drooling’ over the prospect of Jurgen Klopp developing the uncapped South American.
Interestingly, he also claims Chelsea haven’t responded with a counter bid, and importantly – that reports of a hamstring injury are false.
