Liverpool Avoid Huge Transfer Blunder Thanks to Positive Contract Update

Finding a replacement for Mohamed Salah was an understandable priority for Liverpool this summer.

Víctor Muñoz was signed early in the window but the statement piece came in the form of Bradley Barcola, with a package worth up to $166 million (£123 million) struck shortly before Deadline Day arrived. Andoni Iraola’s squad was, suddenly, overflowing with young, talented wingers all looking to compete for minutes against 18-year-old Rio Ngumoha, widely hailed as one of the English game’s top young prospects.
