He will still want to go to Liverpool.



Depending on [how] Liverpool will activate that desire to still have him,” “Because right now, his situation has not been helped because he is injured. If not, then you could have more justification for him to showcase his performance why Liverpool were after him.”“But at the overall situation, even if he moves, I don’t think he will move outside the Premier League.

Manchester United can come banging on their doors.”“It’s a big win for him to be associated with Liverpool. So, it will be easier for them to explore it.”However, with player and club expecting a return in the near future, we don’t necessarily see this as a dealbreaker if Liverpool are still keen on the attacker come January.Certainly, it won’t have escaped the notice of fans that the Reds were perfectly happy to come in for Minteh even while he was still firmly out injured during pre-season.So, we can’t imagine that we’ll be put off from making a move down the line if we’re still keen on shoring up the right flank.Liverpool have four wingers though(Photo by Jan Kruger/Getty Images)The problem for Liverpool will be justifying the signing of another winger without one heading out the exit door.
