Boca Juniors midfielder Ezequiel Fernandez has an admirer in Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister.

The Argentine, who signed for the Reds in the summer from Brighton, is a huge fan of his countryman.

The Reds have been linked to Fernandez in the past, which means he may play with Mac Allister at club level in the near future.

“If you ask me a little more about my style, there is a player that I really like and that is Equi Fernandez," he told TyC Sports earlier this year.

“He is a player who has all the conditions to reach Europe one day and I hope that can happen to him.

“He is a player that I like a lot, he understands the game a lot. He is always prepared to receive the ball, he plays with both legs, he can play as a five, as an inside player… he is a player who has certain very good conditions and, if Brighton asked me, I would say his name."
