Liverpool are watching Benfica midfielder Eduardo Salvio.

The Liverpool Echo says Portuguese sources state Liverpool are ready to secure the signing of Salvio.

The Argentine winger has been in fine form for the Portuguese giants this term, notching 13 goals and five assists in 34 appearances.

Benfica would loathe to let him go but would have no option but to accept a bid should Liverpool meet the player's 60m Euro release clause.
