Liverpool are weighing up their options in attack as questions remain over the future of one of their key wide players.
With movement happening from La Liga giants, the club is already preparing a shortlist and one name is starting to stand out.
While Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon has long been on the radar, his rising price tag has complicated any serious approach.
That has led Liverpool to consider other solutions; ones that offer quality, potential, and more financial flexibility.
As reported by TEAMtalk, the club is now taking a serious look at a 21-year-old winger from Ligue 1 side Lyon.
The Belgian international has quickly become one of Europe’s most talked-about young attackers following an impressive season in France.
Liverpool scouts have followed his progress closely, impressed by his pace, energy, and sharp end product.
He scored 11 goals and provided six assists across 41 matches last season, showing he can deliver consistently in the final third.
What makes the deal even more appealing is the situation at Lyon.
The French club are under pressure financially and are expected to listen to offers around £40 million.
For Liverpool, that is far more manageable than Newcastle’s demands for Gordon.
The Reds’ interest in this player could also grow stronger if Luis Diaz makes the switch to Barcelona, who remain keen on the Colombian.
If Diaz leaves, Liverpool are expected to act swiftly. The player they are now seriously considering is Malick Fofana.
The young winger is open to a move to England, and Liverpool see him as someone who can grow into a long-term role at Anfield while making an immediate impact.
With his style matching what Liverpool look for in wide players, this could be one to watch as the window unfolds.
