Liverpool are looking out to bring in Benfica forward Anderson Talisca into the Anfield and if reports from the Portuguese newspaper O Jogo is to be believed then the deal is close.

The newspaper states that the FA have received an application for a work permit for the Brazilian. The Reds however may have to face strong competition from Chelsea and Arsenal for the player’s signature.
