Sporting Lisbon have made an approach to sign Liverpool youngster Rafa Camacho on loan in January.

The Primeira Liga outfit, who previously had Camacho in their youth ranks, have enquired about securing the services of the Portugal Under-20s international for the rest of the season.

Liverpool have also been contacted by a number of Championship clubs asking about Camacho's availability.

The versatile 18-year-old has made rapid progress since being promoted to train at Melwood on a permanent basis. He impressed on the Reds' pre-season tour of America and has been one of the standout performers in the club's UEFA Youth League campaign.

Camacho, who has been an unused sub for the first-team on three occasions, can play at full-back, in midfield or wide in a front three.

He joined the Reds' Academy following a successful trial in 2016 after being released by Manchester City. Camacho spent two years at City after making the move from Sporting Lisbon.

Fellow Liverpool teenager Curtis Jones is also attracting interest with a League One club making an approach to take him on loan.

There has been speculation about Jones going to Rangers as a replacement for Ovie Ejaria but that won't be happening.
