Liverpool starlet Allan Rodrigues de Souza has further enhanced his growing reputation, scoring the winning goal for Brazil Under-20s against France.

Allan, who is the only European-based player in the Brazil Under-20s squad, slotted home a tidy finish to give his side the win in a warm-up tournament in South Korea ahead of next year's U20 World Cup.

The 19-year-old joined the Reds from Internacional last September, but does not yet qualify for a UK work permit.

Subsequently, he has spent this season out on loan, first in Finland with SJK and more recently with Sint-Truidense in Belgium, where his performances have caught the eye.

He has made nine appearances in the Jupiler Pro League, and Liverpool have been made aware of serious interest in Allan from clubs in France, Spain and Holland this summer.

He is rated by Klopp, who spoke glowingly about the youngster earlier this year. Liverpool are keen for him to gather as much senior experience as possible as they look to navigate their way past the FA’s new work permit rules.

Under the rules, Allan would be required to have played at least 30% of Brazil’s national team matches during the past 12 months to automatically qualify for a permit.
