Liverpool eye right-footed replacement for Mohamed Salah to get the best out of Alexander Isak
Liverpool are seeking a right-footed winger to replace Mohamed Salah and improve goal output for Alexander Isak, who has struggled since his £125m move to the club. Manager Slot emphasized the need for better delivery from the right flank, similar to what Trent Alexander-Arnold provided. The club aims to sign the best available player within their constraints rather than pursuing the highest-profile target.
