Liverpool & Spurs wanted Juventus new boy Kaio Jorge that agent describes as 'a little Lautaro, a little Firmino'

 

A highly-rated Brazilian forward is linking up with Serie A heavyweights in Turin, but Premier League giants were following him at one stage

Juventus have agreed a cut-price €3 million (£3m/$4m) deal for Kaio Jorge, with the Brazilian teenager's agent revealing that Liverpool and Tottenham were keen on a player that is "a little Lautaro Martinez, a little Roberto Firmino" before Serie A giants swooped in.

A highly-rated 19-year-old forward is bidding farewell to Santos in his homeland as he prepares to open an exciting new chapter in his career with European heavyweights.

Turin has been chosen as his next destination, but he could have ended up in England had Premier League giants pushed a little harder and stepped up their interest in a player that boasts considerable potential.
