Michael Edwards ready to agree remarkable €40m transfer Michael Edwards is now lining up a remarkable deal for Liverpool. The next step in the club's recruitment will be to sign a winger. There is no question about that.
Even without Mo Salah's departure, the Reds are lacking in that department. Despite being one of the most dangerous forward lines in Europe last season, the Reds arguably lack a true, touchline-hugging winger. Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo, while often deployed in wide positions on paper, are not traditional wingers in the classic sense.
Both prefer to drift infield, operating as inside forwards who attack central spaces, combine in tight areas, and look to finish moves rather than stretch the pitch horizontally. This tendency naturally narrows Liverpool’s attacking shape. Without players consistently holding width, opposition defenses can stay compact and limit the space available for Liverpool’s creators.
