Liverpool trump Chelsea for Portuguese whizkid Toni Brito Sa

Liverpool have trumped Chelsea for one of Portugal's brightest young prospects. The Sun says the Kop have got their own back on Chelsea by stealing Benfica wonderkid Toni Brito Sa from under their noses.

Benfica have accepted Liverpool's offer of £290,000 for one of the most highly-rated youngsters in Portugal.

Guinea-born Brito, 16, had a trial at Chelsea when Phil Scolari was boss and was ready to sign a six-year deal.
