Rather disappointingly for us in the transfer rumour business – and indeed, Liverpool – one of the most anticipated deals of the summer transfer window has already been concluded, following yesterday’s news of Manchester United agreeing terms with PSV prodigy Memphis Depay – as reported by BBC Sport.
Previously, it was reported as a three-way battle between the Red Devils, Liverpool and PSG, with some sources even claiming the Anfield outfit were leading the pack, having set scouts to watch the Netherlands international on a fortnightly basis this season to demonstrate their sustained interest – as This Is Futbol revealed last week.
Now, however, Liverpool need to consider some potential alternatives to the Eredivise winger-forward, blessed with a similar blend of explosive pace, trickery and netting prowess.
But fear not Reds fans, for This Is Futbol is here to help. Using our god-given powers of transfer know-how, we’ve come up with no less than seven winger-forwards the Merseysides could turn to this summer.
Pedro is a dude, would love to see him in the PL.
