Former Arsenal and Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud hailed the attitude of Bradley Barcola, the PSG star linked with a move to Liverpool.

While Barcola was involved in a permanent battle for a starting place under Luis Enrique, he scored 21 goals and bagged 19 assists in all competitions as PSG won Ligue 1 and the Champions League last season.

French outlet L'Equipe has claimed that Liverpool are keen on Barcola, but Mirror Football understands that while there's admiration at Anfield, there'll be no move at this time.

Liverpool are pushing for Isak, while Paris Saint-Germain aren't willing to let him leave this summer regardless - while Barcola himself isn't pushing to move.

Suggestions he could be an alternative to Isak - allowing Hugo Ekitike to exclusively be used as the starting No.9 - aren't right, with Liverpool showing in the past that they won’t pivot to secondary targets if they don’t secure their first choice.

And French icon Giroud has given the youngster a glowing recommendation, praising his confidence after Barcola made a £43.5m move to the French Champions.

"He’s a shy guy in the dressing room," Giroud said in his column for L'Equipe in April 2024.

He can do anything."
