Liverpool will still be keeping an eye out on some of Europe’s hottest talents.The Reds may have spent big in the transfer market over the summer but there are still plenty of areas that could do with reinforcements. One of these is at left-wing as since selling Luis Diaz, this has been a bit of a problem position because Cody Gakpo has not quite kicked on in the way many would have thought he would.With a new winger being considered over the summer, this likely means Richard Hughes is still on the lookout for one, but he should really look no further than Kenan Yildiz.The Juventus forward has been linked in the past and over this international break, he is proving once again why Liverpool must sign him as soon as possible.Photo by Maurizio Lagana/Getty ImagesKenan Yildiz shines for TurkeyThe 20-year-old is quickly establishing a reputation for being one of the brightest young talents Europe has to offer, with it no surprise Liverpool have been interested.For Juventus, he often plays as the second striker, although he has also played on the left, the position he usually operates in for Turkey.And during their game against Bulgaria, he shone once again, scoring two during their 5-1 victory despite playing just over an hour.He had two shots on target and two goals, showing just how clinical he was, with both being precision shots that went into the bottom right corner.He also completed 88% of his passes and produced four successful dribbles, showing that he had a decent all-round game.READ MORE: Dayot Upamecano transfer saga ‘becoming serious’ as Fabrizio Romano name-drops LiverpoolTurkey also see him as one of their most important players as, alongside Arda Guler and Hakan Calhanoglu, they took him off when the game was won to ensure he gets as much rest as possible.

Kenan Yildiz is exactly who Liverpool needCompetition for Gakpo is certainly needed and although Rio Ngumoha will provide that with time, he is not ready just yet.Yildiz is also the exact profile the Reds need as he is young, exciting and, most importantly, direct, meaning he would add the goals missing from this area of the pitch.He is also versatile and can play at striker if needed and probably even right-wing if he were asked, making him an excellent option for Arne Slot.Juventus previously wanted £66m to let him go but this will only have increased, meaning he will not be cheap, but he could certainly be worth it.
