Liverpool’s Lucas Leiva has revealed that Internacional striker Leandro Damião would be his ideal signing for the club.
In an interview with FourFourTwo, the midfielder told the magazine that he’d love to to see Damião partner the prolific Luis Suarez in attack.
“Neymar would be my first choice, but as I know it is almost impossible to bring him to Liverpool, I would choose Leandro Damião.
“He knows how to play with his back to goal, and he would adapt well to the Premier League.”
Damião has been the subject of interest from English clubs in recent months, with Arsenal and Tottenham both linked to the striker after he impressed for Brazil at London 2012.
Lucas is currently recovering from injury and is set to make his comeback for the U21s on Friday as they face Middlesbrough in a bid for match fitness.
