The Liverpool-linked sensation enhanced his reputation on Thursday night.

Liverpool fans on Twitter are calling on their club to sign Joao Felix this summer.

The Mirror reported in February that Liverpool were one of many Premier League clubs interested in the Benfica starlet, who turns 20 in November.

It seems like he is on borrowed time in Portugal, especially after his Europa League heroics on Thursday night.

Felix scored a hat-trick as Benfica beat Eintracht Frankfurt 4-2 in the first leg of a quarter-final tie in Portugal last night.

In doing so, the teenage number 10, who can also play out wide, made it 13 goals for the season – 10 have come in 15 league games for the Portuguese giants.

And Liverpool fans on Twitter are desperate to see their club break the bank for him this summer.

Felix has a price-tag of around £105 million [The Mirror] but considering he has four years left on his contract, that could well rise.

Scoring a hat-trick in the quarter-final of a major European competition is an outstanding feat for a teenager and it wouldn’t be a huge shock if Benfica raise the asking price.
