Both Luan and Gabriel Jesus were on fire for Brazil in the Olympics

Brought up playing futsal, talented Brazilian forward Luan caught the world’s eye with his stunning performances for Gremio and Brazil in the Olympics. The 23-year old Brazilian attacker is capable of playing as an out and out forward or as a supporting striker and has quick feet and amazing dribbling skills which can leave defenders flat-footed.

Liverpool, Manchester United and Barcelona are all said to be interested in the Gremio forward. A hard worker who is able to play in multiple attacking positions, Luan was included in last season's Brasileirão Team of the Year as the league’s best forward alongside Ricardo Oliviera.

Gabigol and Gabriel Jesus were rewarded for their good performances in the Olympics with moves to Inter Milan and Manchester City respectively and it only looks like a matter of time before Luan follows his compatriots to Europe.
