Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly interested in Liverpool youngster Rafael Camacho.

According to Goal, Wolves are one of several teams to be eyeing the attacker at Anfield and he’s being tipped with a potential exit.

It is understood that RB Leipzig, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon are also all tracking the 18-year-old rising star.

The report details that Merseyside giants Liverpool believe they can cash in on him for £10million plus add-ons.

Camacho is a versatile attacker that can play anywhere across the forward line and has even filled in at full-back before.

He is a Portugal Under-18 international that made his first two senior Liverpool appearances this campaign and is a goal machine at youth level.

He’s a winger by trade that is quick, skilful and extremely highly rated at Anfield.

Wolves already have a strong contingent of Portuguese players at Molineux and that should make it easy for any new arrivals of the same nationality.

But manager Nuno Espirito Santo would be taking a gamble on the Liverpool teenager if he prompts the board to cough up the £10million price tag for him.

Camacho has barely been blooded into senior football yet and it’s hard to tell if he would be able to replicate the same attacking form from youth level in a first-team environment.

Wolves pair Ivan Cavaleiro and Adama Traore have been inconsistent as wingers at the club this season, so they could do with some more competition next year.

But whether Camacho is worth the risk for the West Midlands club remains to be seen.
