LIVERPOOL have made a £25million approach for Shaktar Donetsk's Alex Teixeira today, but just how good is the Brazilian?
The attacking midfielder has netted 22 times in 15 league games this season and has been the subject of interest from Chelsea as well as the Reds.
The Blues were understood to be leading the charge to sign the Brazil international before switching their attention to cheaper option Alexandre Pato.

And News News Blog Sport understands Liverpool have swooped, tabling a £25m bid, although Shaktar are currently holding out for a fee closer to £39m.
The club's Chief executive Ian Ayre has flown to Florida where the Russian side are currently at a winter training camp to sound out a deal.
However, Shakhtar president Rinat Akhmetov is said to be reluctant to sell the attacker in this window unless their higher asking price is met.
But, if this video is anything to go by he will be worth every penny and could certainly address the Red's problems in front of goal this season.
