Liverpool are reportedly on the verge of sealing a deal to sign Brazilian youngster Allan Elias.
The 21-year-old has become a regular at Palmeiras, and appears likely to be the next big sale of the Sao Paulo giants.
According to Brazilian outlet The Football, Liverpool are ‘beginning to finalise’ the deal to sign Allan, who it is claimed will sign next summer.

Benfica were also said to be keen on the right winger, but with Palmeiras reportedly preferring a sale to Liverpool, a transfer worth around £30m is seemingly on the cards.
Although these suggestions are yet to be verified, Rousing The Kop thought it might be worth it for Reds fans to get a little more familiar with Allan.
Allan is an exciting young winger
There is an expectation that Liverpool will look to the winger market during the summer transfer window.
In that respect, Allan would certainly fit the bill. A left footed attacker generally deployed on the right of the Palmeiras attack, the youngster could be a long-term replacement for a certain Mohamed Salah.

Having scored only five goals in 64 appearances for Palmeiras, Allan is certainly not prolific just yet, but having hit one in three Serie A outings this season, the penny is perhaps starting to drop.
As you’d expect from a Brazilian forward, Allan is skilful, quick and has excellent dribbling technique.
There are still parts of his game to work on, and he will be 22 by the time a summer move to Liverpool could be finalised, but the Palmeiras youth academy starlet is a big talent.

Allan hoping to emulate Endrick and Estevao
Palmeiras have become Brazil’s leading youth expert in recent years, selling the likes of Endrick and Estevao for big fees.
Although Allan is not generating the same kind of hype in the country, he looks likely to make a similarly big move to Europe this summer.
A hard worker with excellent work-rate and pressing ability, he looks as though he could fit the bill for what is expected from a Liverpool winger.
We await verification of whether the Reds really are Allan’s most likely destination, but there is plenty to like about the latest cab off the Palmeiras rank.
