The next Cristiano Ronaldo and talented goalkeeper chased by English quartet.
Four Premier League clubs are set to battle it out for the signature of Benfica teenage duo Joao Filipe and Joao Virginia, according to The Express.
Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are all said to be keen on the 15-year-old starlets.
Winger Filipe has been dubbed ‘the next Cristiano Ronaldo’ (pictured) due to his eye for goal, while teammate Virginia is a promising goalkeeper.
Filipe and Virginia have been offered long-term contracts at Benfica, but both players are thought to be keen on a move to England.
The youngsters would not necessarily come as a package, but United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are all keen on signing both.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger and Blues manager Jose Mourinho are particularly determined to improve their development squads.
Wenger and Mourinho could be willing to sanction lucrative contract offers to tempt Filipe and Virginia to London.
