The intrigue surrounding exactly who Liverpool will target to be their new right winger was ramped up further this week after the Reds made moves for both Yankuba Minteh and Ismaila Sarr.Minteh was the first to be targeted, and Liverpool have seemingly indicated a willingness to go as high as £60m to buy the Gambian, with Brighton holding out for closer to £80m.That stance made Liverpool turn towards Sarr, who they reportedly made a £50m move for on Wednesday. Thoughts? 🤯 He is seen as an alternative to Yankuba Minteh Ismaila Sarr In truth, neither Minteh nor Sarr have had pulses racing on Merseyside, with fans concerned that the two players do not have the necessary quality.
Minteh is left-footed, and more of a creator, while Sarr is right-sided, and is more focused on output.The Brighton man’s lack of goals has been a worry for supporters ever since news broke that Liverpool are looking to sign him, but according to fans on RTK‘s Facebook and X pages, the 22-year-old’s age, work-rate and left-footedness make him a better candidate.READ MORE: The three players Andoni Iraola needs to drop for Liverpool’s match with Nottingham Forest on Saturday“We need a left footed right winger. Minteh all day.”“Minteh, now we have Barcola he would be a massive boost for later in the season when he’s back fit,” another fan argued.
One more supporter said that while Minteh was the better option, Brighton’s asking price should give Liverpool pause for thought.And though the support for Minteh was greater, other fans argued that Sarr should certainly not be dismissed.“Choice between someone with 21 goal contributions last season. “Neither stick with Mbaye, he’s cheaper, younger and has a higher ceiling,” someone else commented.“Wouldn’t go for either, shows how desperate we have become,” was the final word on the matter, and though Minteh or Sarr could prove that wrong, there remains a feeling that Liverpool can do better here.
