Liverpool have expressed interest in Vasco da Gama striker Talles Magno.

Yahoo Esportes says Liverpool have enquired about the availability of 18-year-old Magno.

Magno, a versatile forward able to play as a central striker or on the left, is considered one of the brightest prospects in the Brasileirao and plays for Vasco da Gama.

His appearances have been limited to the Copa Sudamericana this season but he featured 15 times in the league last campaign, scoring twice.

Magno has also starred on the international stage at a youth level, scoring five goals in 10 appearances for Brazil's under-17 outfit and three goals in six games at under-19 level.
