He shone in the Brasileirao, made the national team and could be the new jewel of Arne Slot's Liverpool

Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing Feyenoord forward Igor Paixão, with manager Arne Slot keen to reunite with the Brazilian. The pair previously worked together at Feyenoord, where Slot was instrumental in Paixão's development.

Paixão has been in impressive form for the Dutch side and has attracted interest from a number of top European clubs. His ability to play on either wing or as a central attacking midfielder makes him a versatile option for any team.

Slot's influence

Slot's arrival at Anfield has coincided with a renewed focus on bringing in younger players with high potential. Paixão fits that profile perfectly, and his familiarity with Slot's style of play could make him a quick and seamless fit into the Liverpool team.

A move to Anfield would represent a significant step up for Igor Paixão, who has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs in recent months. However, Liverpool are believed to be in pole position to sign the Brazilian.

What Liverpool will gain

Paixão's pace, dribbling skills, and eye for goal would add a new dimension to Liverpool's attack. He could provide competition for Mohamed Salah and Luis Díaz, and could also be used as a false nine.

Feyenoord will be reluctant to lose one of their star players, but they may be tempted to cash in on Paixão if a big offer comes in. The Dutch club are in a strong financial position and could use the money to reinvest in their squad.
