Spartak Moscow striker Welliton is the latest name to appear on the list of potential Liverpool transfer targets, but Arsenal also has its sights set on him. The 25-year-old hitman has a £7 million ($10.8 million) price tag, according to Talksport.
“Both Liverpool and Arsenal are keen to bolster their forward line and have been linked with a move for the 5 feet 9 inches tall forward,” the report says.
“Spartak Moscow are desperate to keep their prolific forward but would consider offers in the region of £7m.”
The Brazilian has played for the Russian club since joining it from Brazilian club Goias in the summer of 2007. He became a key figure in the Spartak team in 2009, scoring 21 league goals that season and 19 in the following campaign.
German club Borussia Dortmund and Italy’s Fiorentina are also reportedly interested in him.
