Liverpool are close to signing Corinthians striker Alexandre Pato for £11.1million, according to reports.

While the 26-year-old has hardly been prolific since his return to Brazil, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has clearly seen something in the former AC Milan forward.

For the last two seasons, the forward has been on loan to Sao Paulo – where he has scored 38 goals in 95 appearances.

Tuttomercatoweb has revealed that the Brazilian could be on his way to Anfield for a fee of just over £11.1 million.
