Liverpool may well look to “pursue” a move for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola this summer, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke. Look, he’s been a long-term target for Liverpool, Barcola.

I think obviously Liverpool’s top target is Yan Diomande, if they can get a deal done for him, I think that’s the deal that they would pursue.” Is Bradley Barcola a strong alternative to Yan Diomande for Liverpool? It seems fairly clear that Liverpool are desperate to bring Diomande in, but if that doesn’t happen, Barcola could be a fantastic signing.

He was able to calmly manage the difficult moments post-Newcastle period in the best possible way.” Barcola showed his quality in France’s 3-1 win over Senegal at the World Cup, scoring with a lovely finish from the substitutes’ bench, and it is easy to see him flourishing in a Liverpool shirt. He is also a main contributor for This Is Anfield, one of the world's biggest Reds-related sites, where he writes features and news, and covers matchday content.
