Liverpool are believed to have made contact with Bournemouth winger Rayan over a summer move to Anfield, as they look to sign both him and Bradley Barcola. The Reds have also “sought” Andoni Iraola’s assessment of the 19-year-old, with Spaniard a “huge admirer of the youngster and believes his ceiling is exceptionally high.” Liverpool are far from Rayan’s only admirers, however, with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and PSG are all believed to be “monitoring” his progress currently.



There are so many boxes that Rayan ticks for Liverpool, with the Brazilian having Mohamed Salah’s ability to cut inside onto his left foot and wreak havoc from the right wing. He is young, he has maturity and he works hard.

Nobody knows the level he can reach.” If Liverpool managed to sign Barcola on the left wing and Rayan on the right, it could transform their attack, with Florian Wirtz suddenly having pace around him in the No.10 role and Alexander Isak also benefiting. 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.
