Liverpool have reportedly almost sealed the transfer of Tiago Ilori, so talkSPORT's Transfer Spotlight has all that excited Kopites need to know about the gifted 20-year-old… Tiago Abiola Delfim Almeida Ilori26 February 1993 London, England Centre-back Sporting Lisbon Four caps for Portugal's U20 side and 15 for Portugal's U19According to reports in Portugal from respected sports newspaper A Bola, Liverpool are close to snapping up highly-rated defender, Tiago Ilori, having apparently already agreed personal terms with the player. He established himself during the second half of last season and the Reds are said to have had a bider striker Harry Kane this summer.Tottenham were dumped out of the Champions League by RB Leipzig after a 4-0 aggregate defeat and qualification through the league is looking increasingly unlikely. The Italian giants hope that will be a factor in lur of around £3m turned down, with Sporting hoping to get closer to £4m. However, Ilori's contract expires in 2015 and the club face the prospect of losing him for a lot less than Liverpool are prepared to offer. Born in London to an English father and Portuguese mother, Ilori joined the Sporting youth academy in 2006. He could still play for the Three Lions just like his Sporting team-mate, Eric Dier, who was born in Cheltenham and plays for the England U19 side. Ilori has so far only represented Portugal at youth level. Though primarily a centre-back, Ilori can also fill in at left-back. He is known for his speed on the ground, and has even proven to be quicker than Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani in the speed tests conducted at Sporting's academy. He has been mentioned as a long-term successor to Ricardo Carvalho [see 'What's being said' below]. Ilori made his senior Sporting debut in November, 2011 during a league clash with U.D Leiria, and a month later appeared in the Europa League. He continued as part of the B team officially, however. The arrival of new manager, Jesualdo Ferreira in January 2013 led to a significant boost in Ilori's profile. The youngster was hande.Moura is being celebrated today after his superb hat-trick for their Champions League win at Ajax.And he recalled his January 2018 departure from PSG, speaking to Globoesporte: "I did not want to leave the way I left PSG. I stayed there for five yead a start for the first team against Gil Vicente in February, and scored a goal within six minutes, going on to play the entire game. He played a further 10 games last season, starting in all of them. The defender has made 15 appearances for Portugal at U19 level and is in the country's U20 World Cup team for the tournament in Turkey beginning on 21 June.“Ilori was thrown in at the deep end and looked a bit nervous. However, he has got better and better and looks like a classy centre-back, rather than a 'Rambo' type. More Ricardo Carvalho than John Terry, you could say.”– Portugal-based journalist, Tom KundertIs Ilori what Liverpool need? Keep up to date with all
