Overview

• Liverpool have had scouts at several Santos matches to watch 17-year-old Robinho Jnr, with reports naming Dassler Marques as the talent-spotter in attendance.
• Robinho Jnr has three senior appearances this year for Santos and primarily plays as a left winger who can operate across the front line.
• Chelsea are also credited with interest, with UK reports describing both Premier League clubs as monitoring rather than bidding.
• The player is understood to have a reported £43 million release clause, and his mother is acting as his de facto agent.
• Santos are handling publicity carefully given Robinho Sr’s imprisonment, while Neymar has publicly praised and guided the youngster.
