Liverpool’s attacking strategy may see a significant shift as the club prepares to pursue two new wingers if Cody Gakpo transfers to Tottenham Hotspur. With ongoing negotiations for Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool is also exploring additional options to bolster their flanks.

The situation intensifies with Tottenham's interest in Gakpo, which would necessitate even deeper squad depth for manager Andoni Iraola. Having already lost Mohamed Salah this summer, another key departure could push Liverpool back into the market for reinforcements.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool could sign two wingers, particularly if Gakpo's move to Tottenham materializes. Key points include:

• Barcola remains a primary target, with active discussions ongoing with PSG.
• Ibrahim Mbaye, another PSG talent, is on Liverpool's shortlist but considered too pricey at the moment.

Despite the challenging negotiations with PSG regarding Barcola's fee, Liverpool maintains confidence in securing the player. The club's interest in Mbaye suggests a willingness to invest in young talent, with the 18-year-old offering significant potential rather than immediate expectations to replace Salah.

Liverpool's dual pursuit of wingers is a strategic response to recent departures. Losing Gakpo would demand more than one replacement to adequately fill the void left in the attack. Barcola, at 23, would serve as a statement signing, showcasing elite pace and versatility, while Mbaye represents a long-term investment.

The club’s management must ensure that replacements are in place before allowing Gakpo to depart, as Tottenham's acceptable offer could catalyze the next step in Iraola’s rebuilding efforts.
