Media watchLiverpool handed Bradley Barcola boost as £43m transfer announced

Their new £43million midfielder only adds to the club's attacking options and can notably play out wide, like the Reds target.

L'Equipe claims that Akliouche is a replacement for Lee Kang-in, who joined Atletico Madrid late last month. They add that they are also in verbal discussions with Ajax over Mika Godts, a right-footed winger like Barcola who plays off the left.

The French sports newspaper claims Liverpool and PSG are confident of reaching an agreement regarding the 23-year-old. Barcola's representatives have given the Reds encouraging signs following preliminary talks between the two parties.
