Liverpool have snatched ideal Alexander Isak replacement forward from under Arsenal's noses
Liverpool’s summer business would appear to be at an end. A deal for Bradley Barcola to join for a £123m fee has just been announced. And as it stands - unless Cody Gakpo is sold - no more signings...
Liverpool has secured a replacement for Alexander Isak as a forward, beating Arsenal to the deal. The club is now unlikely to sign any more players, unless Cody Gakpo is sold. This leaves a limited number of senior options at the top of the attack. With Victor Munoz and Bradley Barcola on the wings, Liverpool possesses only one senior forward in the No9 position.
The injury to Hugo Ekitike, a 23-year-old center-forward, means he will not return until the new year, further limiting the squad depth. In response to this situation, 18-year-old Will Wright, signed from Salford City last summer, is being considered to bolster the team. The young talent has already made an impact, scoring twice in a recent match against Leeds United.
With Liverpool's options at No9 appearing scarce, Wright could be given a chance to prove himself in the first team over the coming months.
