Errickson turns attention to young Brazilian

Manchester City manager Sven Goran Eriksson is reportedly on the trail of CSKA Moscow's Brazilian striker Joao Alves de Assis Silva. Eriksson has made no secret of his desire to beef up his attacking options before the transfer window closes and has been linked with the likes of Real Zaragoza's experienced Argentina international Diego Alberto Milito and Djibril Cisse of Marseille.

Now, Eriksson has turned his attentions to 20-year-old 'Jo', who was the stand-out performer for Moscow in their Champions League Group G games. The tall and imposing striker, who helped Moscow win the 2006 Russian Premier League, has one Brazil cap and has been catching the eye of a number of Europe's top clubs.
