# Liverpool move in for Chelsea target

Liverpool are reportedly moving in for Chelsea target, Alex Teixeira as they look to steal a deal for the Brazilian, according to the [Mail Online](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3409667/Liverpool-29m-rated-Chelsea-target-Alex-Teixeira.html).

The Shakhtar Donetsk attacker has been valued at £29m and the Brazilian is keen to move to abroad in order to enhance his chance of being selected for the Brazilian national team.

Teixeira, who has represented Brazil at youth level, is yet to be capped by the senior side.

The Reds have sent a club delegation, which included chief executive Ian Ayre, to Orlando, where Shakhtar are currently playing in the Florida Cup to discuss a move for the playmaker.
