Liverpool are in the market for a new winger and there are more players who could arrive to create a dream squad for Andoni IraolaLiverpool are in need of refining Andoni Iraola's squad for his maiden campaign. However, he cannot shoulder the burden alone and if Bournemouth's Rayan is reunited with the manager who developed him last term, the possibilities are endless.In merely half a season, Iraola transformed Rayan from a raw Brazilian prospect into a forward who started for his nation at the World Cup aged just 19.
Ngumoha, Cody Gakpo and Munoz will all demand minutes.In midfield, Curtis Jones' departure appears unavoidable as he's slipped down the pecking order and his 'pure profit' status under Profit and Sustainability Rules means he could prove pivotal in funding other transactions. His contract expires in 2027 and he's just turned 30.Double deal sealedWith three midfielders sold, there would have to be at least one replacement signed and whilst it is very speculative, Liverpool could raid Borussia Dortmund for two of their brightest sparks.Felix Nmecha was impressive for Germany at the World Cup and is a tall, physically imposing No.
He would bring something very different to Liverpool's midfield, which is, admittedly, brimming with talent already.Although Nmecha is not a necessity, he could partner Ryan Gravenberch in midfield for more physically aggressive matches and Alexis Mac Allister's future in red is not streamlined. At £25m, a price reported in Germany, he would provide depth to Iraola's defensive options and give Milos Kerkez food for thought whilst replacing Tsimikas.Full squad listGoalkeepers: Alisson Becker, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Freddie Woodman.Defenders: Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, Jeremie Frimpong.Midfielders: Florian Wirtz, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Trey Nyoni, Stefan Bajcetic.Forwards: Alexander Isak, Rayan, Cody Gakpo, Hugo Ekitike, Rio Ngumoha.Sold: Wataru Endo, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa, Kostas Tsimikas.Signed: Rayan, Jeremy Jacquet, Victor Munoz, Felix Nmecha, Daniel Svensson.Thousands of fans upgraded their Premier League matchday last season.
