Fluminense youngster Evanilson has broken his silence following recent links to Premier League giants Liverpool.

The Reds have been credited with an interest in the South American, who scored two goals on his debut for the Fluminense first-team against Corinthians on Sunday.

The starlet was handed a chance by manager Marco Aurélio de Oliveira, and the 20-year-old took his opportunity with both hands in the final round of fixtures.

It is thought Evanilson has been monitored in recent weeks by Liverpool, who are aware his contract with the club expires in February.

The starlet has now spoken about the interest, and it would appear the European champions might have their work cut out a bit.

He said (Mirror): “Let’s sit down with Fluminense’s board and sort the best situation for me.

“We’ve been negotiating for a long time. We are seeing what is best.

“These goals help a lot. I’m waiting to see what will happen. I don’t know. I can’t talk yet. It’s a club that opened its doors to me. I’m very happy and I really want to stay.”

TBR’s view – Liverpool could struggle

Realistically it might be difficult for Reds officials to convince Evanilson to move to Anfield.

As the Fluminense’s brightest young prospect, he’ll be getting all kinds of advice to stay where he is, and that would probably be fair enough at this point.

Perhaps it would be wise for the player to get a full season in his homeland under his belt before moving to Europe.
