Liverpool youngster Allan Rodrigues de Souza has flown to America with Eintracht Frankfurt ahead of a potential loan move to the Bundesliga club.

The 21-year-old Brazilian midfielder will train with Adi Hutter's squad in Salt Lake City before a decision is made about his future. He could feature in their friendlies against Real Salt Lake and Philadelphia Union.

Eintracht sporting director Bruno Hübner said: “He wants to take the opportunity to show what he can do.”

Liverpool are preparing to loan Allan out once again as he's still not eligible for a work permit to play in the UK. He has recently returned to fitness after undergoing shoulder surgery earlier this year.

Allan joined Liverpool in a £500,000 deal from Internacional in his homeland in the summer of 2015.

He had spells with Finnish side SJK, Sint-Truiden of Belgium and Bundesliga club Hertha Berlin before heading to Apollon Limassol last season. He made 16 appearances for the Cypriot outfit before injury cut short his season.

Work permit rules were tightened for non-European Union players back in 2015. Points are awarded for various criteria including the transfer fee, wages, international caps, the level of the club they are coming from and whether a player has featured in 30% or more of the available domestic league minutes.
