Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness has talked up the idea of Liverpool bringing in South American players next year, following the appointment of Andrii Fedchenkov. Sources at Liverpool and Flamengo have described the Ukrainian as being data-driven and multilingual, in addition to highly-organised and well-regarded despite his age.” This means that Liverpool could potentially target South American players, as has been mooted of late, and speaking to Football Insider, Wyness said that approach could work: “I’ve bought South American players before and I’ve seen the issues, is how they settle when they come over.

So look, I don’t know the guy personally, but hopefully he fits in well, and he’s got all the promise. It’s going to be a long-term burn because there’s a lot of tidying up in the Liverpool squad to do first.” Should Liverpool look to sign South American players?

Nineteen-year-old Palmeiras attacker Erick Bele has been linked with a switch to Liverpool in recent days, and he is the type of profile the Reds should be looking at, in terms of young players with high ceilings. The appointment of Fedchenkov would surely only help Liverpool in their efforts to sign individuals in South America, with his experience there putting him in good stead at Anfield when he takes over at the end of the year.
