SportFootballLiverpool FCLiverpool continue to be linked with a move for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley BarcolaLiverpool have been told transfer target Bradley Barcola can be a replacement for Mohamed Salah with the Paris Saint-Germain winger "much improved" as a player.The Reds have switched their sights to Barcola after it emerged previous priority Yan Diomande would prefer a move to PSG if he leaves RB Leipzig this summer.PSG are understood to want to keep the 23-year-old and have slapped a price tag in excess of £100million on the player, who is with France for the World Cup.And former Fulham striker Louis Saha is convinced Barcola would represent a wise move for Liverpool.“Bradley Barcola is a terrific player," said Saha. "He has already won two Champions Leagues, and he could even win the World Cup over the next few weeks, his achievements for such a young player are staggering."He has become a much improved player over the past few seasons, he gets better and better every year, and he can go right to the very top of football.“What Barcola needs is to move somewhere where he is going to be first choice in his position week in, week out.
His confidence will improve ten-fold once that happens, and then he will be a way more dangerous player."Speaking to LiveFootballTickets, Saha added: “He has enormous potential, and I’m not surprised Liverpool are looking at him."They need a replacement for Mohamed Salah, and Cody Gakpo has looked uncomfortable at times for them out wide. Barcola could easily fill either of those positions."He is so direct, creative, and he has the ability to go in behind, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a bidding war for him go on all summer between top sides if he wants to leave PSG and cement his place in a top Premier League side.”FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
