Liverpool or Everton?

Viera is only 16 and has a lot of time on his hands, and if he continues to progress and develop, then he could find himself playing in the Premier League sooner rather than later.

Liverpool and Everton are two massive clubs in England, and both give chances to youngsters.

If the youngster moves to either of the Merseyside outfit either in the January transfer window or in the summer transfer window, then it would be hard for him to establish himself in the first team.

What Viera needs to do in order to fulfil his dream of playing in the Premier League is to carry on working hard in his native Uruguay.
