Sporting CP teenager Andre Cardoso is interesting Liverpool.

Indeed, Jornal Madeira reports the Reds are close to securing the striker's signature.

And a deal is said to be 'almost certain' to be finalised.

Still only 18, Cardoso is yet to make a first-team appearance for Sporting and would not be a first team signing if he did move to Anfield.

Cardoso plays mainly as a striker.
