Brazilian wanted by Liverpool

Liverpool seem to be linked with many centre backs of late. with Agger appearing to be on the way out of Anfield sooner or later, and Hyypia closing on retirement, Benitez needs to find proper talented replacements, and he seems to have found potential in 21 year old Brazilian Anderson.

The young defender currently does his trade with Brazilian outfit Fluminense, and reports coming from Brazil suggest Liverpool scouts were there to watch him play against Cruzeiro in the final round of the Campeonato Brasiliero before the Christmas break.

Anderson is a 6'1" tall defender who is both versatile and pacey, has the ability to act in all defence positions, and is good in the air. He has already won the Brazilian Cup with Fluminense in 2007, so he knows what it's like to be a title winner.
