"There is an agreement in principle with Liverpool for the transfer in the coming weeks,” he said.
He later told SporTV that no 'concrete' offer had been received, leading to continued interest from Manchester United, West Ham and now Tottenham.
But according to to Calcionews24, Spurs are now front runners in the chase to land the Corinthians playmaker, who is currently impressing on-loan at Sao Paulo.
