Liverpool have reportedly stepped up their interest in Swedish striker Marcus Berg according to reports in Holland.

Rafa Benitez is set to add to his striking options this summer after letting Robbie Keane return to Tottenham in the winter transfer window and Berg is now the favourite to fill the void.

Berg has attracted the interest of Ajax and Fiorentina but is thought to favour a move to the Premiership with Dutch club Groningen willing to let their prize asset leave for around 12 million euros.

The Groningen striker scored 15 goals in 25 games in his debut season in the Dutch Eredivisie last year. The 22-year-old has impressed again this season with 17 goals in 30 games and this form has convinced Benitez to table an official offer with Groningen in an attempt to avoid a bidding war with other clubs.

Benitez has also been linked with moves for Luis Suarez of Ajax and Edin Džeko who currently plays for VfL Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga.

he was the most hyped played on the Brazil U20 team. But it was supposed to be Marquinhos, but he was hurt. Anyway he went missing in a lot of games and was even benched midway through the tournament. He did have a couple moments of brilliance though and earned his starting spot back by the end. He is sort of a Robinho type player and although is very talented, is very hit and miss


his highlights from the U20. He is number 8.  Walter is number 9 the one who stood out more IMO  I thought 3-4 other Brazilians were more impressive than Douglas Costa as well as a couple of lads from Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay.


highlights with Gremio (Lucas's old team )

I remember Lucas was the next big Brazilian U20 player a couple of years back
