SportFootballLiverpool FCPSG star Bradley Barcola is one of several wingers under consideration this summer at Liverpool as they look to replace Mohamed SalahFormer France star Florent Malouda believes Liverpool transfer target Bradley Barcola would be an ideal fit for the Premier League.Paris Saint-Germain winger Barcola is one of several wide players the Reds' recruitment team are considering this summer as they look to source a replacement for Mohamed Salah, whose Anfield contract officially expired on June 30.Yan Diomande has been outlined as a target at Anfield but the £100m-rated RB Leipzig star is believed to prefer a move to European champions PSG, should he leave the Bundesliga club, and that prospect has opened the door to the possibility of Barcola, who is also wanted by Arsenal, moving to Merseyside.The Ligue 1 and Champions League holders are reluctant to let Barcola leave but have so far been unable to reach an agreement on a new deal for the France international, who scored in their 3-0 win over Sweden at the World Cup in the early hours of Wednesday.Malouda, who played at Chelsea for six years between 2007 and 2013, thinks Barcola would be well suited to English football"When you look at Bradley Barcola’s story, first of all, he's coming from the Lyon Academy," Malouda told BOYLE Sports."He made the right choices. When he left, it was not easy for him.
He left and he won two Champions Leagues in the best team in French football history."Of course, it's challenging when you're competing with Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue to start, but he showed every time he came on that he has the same level, maybe not as consistent, but he has the potential."Choosing his next destination is about whether he is ready to take a leadership role, because that's what will be expected from him."You just won the Champions League, any club buying you will expect you to lead them to winning these kinds of trophies."This is where he will be challenged. He could fit in any Premier League team.
He's a very talented young player."FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
