Liverpool Head Coach Andoni Iraola Seeks More Wingers Before Transfer Deadline
· Sports · BBC Sport
Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has stated that his squad currently lacks sufficient depth in wide attacking positions ahead of the new season. The club recently had a £50 million bid for Brighton's Yankuba Minteh rejected and is currently exploring options including Paris St-Germain's Ibrahim Mbaye and Bradley Barcola. Iraola expressed a desire for a fully formed squad by mid-July but acknowledged the reality of an ongoing transfer market. The club has already seen departures this summer, including Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Ibrahima Konate, while Curtis Jones is finalizing a £30 million move to Inter Milan. Iraola remains confident that the squad will be strengthened before the transfer window concludes on September 1.
Why it matters
The lack of wingers creates a tactical gap for Liverpool as the season begins, making the final days of the transfer window critical for the club's competitive prospects.
