Liverpool are expected to sign at least one new winger once the 2026 summer transfer window opens up in mid-June.To date, the two main names mooted for a potential Anfield switch have been RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande and Bradley Barcola of PSG.However, a report from TeamTalk is now suggesting that Anthony Gordon is viewed as a more attainable option than the aforementioned duo. You can only pick ONE player for Liverpool to sign this summer, who is it?

Good player, I like him.
He hasn’t shown any level of consistency in the league, I would say best form has been in the Champions League or certainly Europe.”McCoist may well have a point, given that the winger only scored six and assisted two in the Premier League this term.In comparison, he found the back of the net 10 times in 12 Champions League matches, with four of those strikes coming in one game against Qarabag.However, the one saving grace regarding a potential move is that Gordon possesses great pace, which is something Arne Slot’s team are seriously lacking right now.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
