Player and his agents confident of completing transfer to Liverpool after major breakthrough

His playing style should be a good fit for the Premier League, and it remains to be seen whether he can make an immediate impact.

Liverpool have been linked with multiple attacking players over the last few weeks, and it remains to be seen whether they can sign another attacker along with Barcola before the window closes.

They need more depth on the flanks, and signing another wide player would be ideal. Yankuba Minteh and Ibrahim Mbaye have been linked with the Reds in recent weeks.
