Joao Pedro is only 17 years old, but everyone in Brazil is talking about him. The interest is justified, however, as his numbers are truly remarkable for his age. Liverpool, according to GloboEsporte, is fighting Watford in a bid to sign the rising star.

The striker has slipped into Liverpool's plans. The aforementioned media says that the Reds are preparing an offer to try to lure Joao Pedro to Liverpool.

The player belongs to Fluminense. In recent days there had been speculation that he might join Watford. In fact, his arrival was  all but confirmed. 

Now, according to GloboEsporte, Liverpool has shown their interest and could be making their own bid for the young Brazilian star. The English team has suddenly discovered his talents and would be looking to add him to the squad. 

The attacker's numbers are admirable. At the age of 17, his numbers are already better than Ronaldo Nazario's. It remains to be seen if a war between Watford and Liverpool over the transfer of Joao Pedro will settle his future.
