So much for keeping your cards close to your chest. When new Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola was asked recently where he needed to strengthen, he replied: ‘We definitely need to sign a winger.’When you have to replace one of the greatest players in your club’s history in Mo Salah, and your out-and-out right-wing options during a pre-season tour of the US are Kieran Morrison, 19, and Joshua Abe, 16, there's not much point pretending otherwise. Especially when the new guy in charge is renowned for his fast, direct, attacking style of football.Liverpool know the man they want to fill that obvious hole, too. As Daily Mail Sport reported over the weekend, the club are working on a deal to sign 23-year-old winger Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain. PSG, however, want around £140million for the France international, which would smash the British record of £125m Liverpool forked out for Alexander Isak last summer.A fair old whack for a player who’s stalled over a new contract, told PSG he wants to leave, and had fallen down the pecking order under Luis Enrique anyway, with Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia his preferred wide options during the business end of the Champions League. So, you imagine there might be some wriggle room.Yet this is also the young star who, essentially, replaced Kylian Mbappe on PSG’s flank when he joined Real Madrid two years ago. Club legend Javier Pastore has said Barcola could reach Mbappe’s level one day, too. Even though his minutes became limited, Barcola ranked behind only team-mate Ousmane Dembele and Monaco’s Ansu Fati for expected goals and assists per 90 minutes in Ligue 1 last season. In other words, he's a chance-creating machine.
