A skillful, direct, Uruguayan striker who likes to score goals. Where have we heard that before?
Liverpool are being linked with the man they are hailing as the next Luis Suarez. And, yes, it is for his footballing abilities, not his misconduct.
The Anfield club have been bereft of inspiration since Suarez up and left for the Nou Camp in the summer and, even with his rap sheet, the red half of Merseyside would probably welcome him back with open arms, such is the state of affairs at the moment.
But what if they could have Suarez without the drawbacks?
Step forward, Jaime Baez.
The 19-year-old Juventud attacker has been lighting it up in Uruguay at club level and with the U20 national side and the ‘Pool are the latest outfit believed to be hot on the tail of his signature.
It’s being reported that Baez could cost Brendan Rodgers as little as €4m in January but there are a number of interested parties joining the chase.
A look at this video will tell you why. We know, we know: beware the YouTube sensation but the lad seems to have something about him.
