Liverpool are scouting Brazil Under-17 superstar Zezinho, according to reports in Brazil.
Zezinho won the Under-17 Championship with Brazil, and he is currently learning his trade playing regular first team football with second division Juventude.
A technically gifted attacker with good feet, Zezinho has been attracting interest from Europe and was scouted by Liverpool during a recent match.
The Brazilian media even claims Liverpool may have agreed a deal with the club to bring the teenager to Anfield, although club president Sergio Florian firmly refutes such suggestions.
"The money is already in our account? I'm not aware of anything,” Florian told Futebol Interior.
“In particular, there is nothing, any kind of negotiation.
“I cannot speak anything more than that because, as far as I’m concerned, they were just scouting the player.”
