Brazilian star one step closer to joining Liverpool

Brazilian star one step closer to joining Liverpool An exciting Brazilian is one step closer to joining Liverpool following a recent report. If anything, Liverpool's frontline looks like the most complete part of Andoni Iraola's jigsaw right now. It's quite funny, really, considering the Reds spent the final days of last summer's window trying to bring in another attacker. Ismaila Sarr and Yankuba Minteh were both on the radar, but Liverpool were ultimately priced out of moves for either player. Looking at the options available now, though, the attack looks pretty healthy. Bradley Barcola has been a strong addition, Alexander Isak is firing on all cylinders, and Florian Wirtz is finally starting to deliver those goal contributions. Victor Muñoz could prove to be a real bargain, while Rio Ngumoha has the potential to become one of the best wingers around. Then there's Lewis Koumas, whose incredible work rate has already made him a fan favourite. Why Liverpool's attack will get even better Liverpool's attacking options could look even stronger in the coming months, especially with Hugo Ekitike working his way back towards a return. There are big hopes that he can rediscover the form he showed before his setback. But the excitement doesn't stop with the senior squad. The Reds have some seriously talented youngsters coming through, and a few could be knocking on the first-team door sooner than expected. Will Wright is already banging in goals for both the U21s and U19s, making a senior opportunity feel increasingly likely. Djylian N'Guessan is another name to watch, with the highly rated youngster potentially arriving in January. Out wide, Joshua Abe is considered one of the club's brightest prospects, while AJ Yeguo is also making a strong impression. Further forward, Erik Farkas and Samuel Martinez are two players Liverpool believe could eventually challenge for the No.10 role currently occupied by Florian Wirtz. Liverpool one step closer to signing Rayan You would say the only missing piece in the jigsaw is probably a right-winger who is left-footed. The chances are that Liverpool's next move will likely be that. Cody Gakpo is unlikely to stay at the club long-term. Given what we know about how Liverpool operate, the Reds will be open to selling a player who is in his late twenties - just as they did with Luis Diaz. We also know Liverpool have a strong admiration for Rayan. The Brazilian has also worked with Andoni Iraola in the past. On paper, he seems like the perfect fit for the Reds. And it looks like the Reds might be one step closer to signing him with Bournemouth reportedly looking at a potential replacement for him already. TEAMtalk reports that the Cherries are ready to bid for Andres Gomez, who plays for Vasco da Gama and who is a winger who can play on either flank. Bringing in a winger would subsequently surely open the door for Bournemouth to listen to offers for Rayan, and that is a significant change in the club's stance of the Brazilian being not for sale in the summer.
