Feyenoord value Paixao at £25million and the player is reportedly keen on a switch to the Premier League. 

Bournemouth and Newcastle are said to have had scouts in attendance in Rotterdam to watch the Brazilian against Milan on Wednesday night. 

They will likely have been left impressed as he tormented Walker all night having completed the most dribbles and created the most chances of any Feyenoord player.  

Paixao also came close to a second goal as he hit the crossbar and also skipped past Walker before again going close with a shot from the halfway line. 

Walker afterwards insisted Milan must take a different approach in the return fixture next week if they are to advance to the last-16.  

He said: 'I've been here for two weeks. Since I've been here it's been good, this is a setback and we have to recover first of all in the championship and then in the return leg.

'The atmosphere, the crowd with their passion and the belief that we will put in: it will be a different match but also the approach must be different.

'It is not only valid for the forwards, we all have to contribute more.'
