Liverpool<\/a> will carefully consider their options before committing to signing\u00a0Ismaila Sarr<\/a> from Crystal Palace<\/a> in January, the newest report has revealed.<\/p>\n

The Reds earned their first win of the Premier League<\/a><\/strong> season on Friday, beating Ipswich Town 2-0 at Portman Road<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Fans were pleased that the likes of Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo improved considerably on prior performances, though there are still some concerns about some of Andoni Iraola<\/a>‘s attackers.<\/p>\n

Liverpool tried to sign Palace forward Sarr in the summer transfer window, but they were ultimately unwilling to match the Eagles’ asking price of \u00a375m.<\/p>\n

Football Insider<\/a> report that while Sarr is still keen on a move to Anfield, and while the Reds still have him on their list of targets, the Merseysiders will consider all options before making a move for the attacker in the winter.<\/p>\n

Ismaila Sarr to Liverpool: Does Andoni Iraola have enough in attack?<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that Liverpool have the numbers they need to succeed in the final third, with Bradley Barcola’s arrival from Paris Saint-Germain seeing him join Isak, Gakpo, Victor Munoz and Rio Ngumoha, and it should be remembered that Hugo Ekitike is scheduled to return from injury in 2027.<\/p>\n

However, there are no left-footed wingers in the squad following the departure of Mohamed Salah, and that could make the Reds’ frontline more predictable as the season progresses.<\/p>\n

– Hugo Ekitike (injured)<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Bradley Barcola<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Rio Ngumoha<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Cody Gakpo<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Victor Munoz<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sarr does play on the right, though he also prefers to use his right foot, while he is less comfortable out wide and is less creative than Salah.<\/p>\n

Considering the fact the Palace star will turn 29 in February, spending such a significant amount of money on him would be risky, especially if the club hope for him to contribute for a prolonged period.<\/p>\n

Liverpool January rumours: Lamine Camara rather than a winger?<\/p>\n

While Liverpool’s attack could look somewhat disjointed at times in the coming months, strengthening that area of the pitch should not necessarily be seen as a priority.<\/p>\n

Midfield has been a weakness for the Reds this term, with question marks about the suitability of Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai to the team’s double pivot.<\/p>\n

Lamine Camara’s proposed move to Chelsea collapsed at the last minute of the summer window, so there may be an opportunity to sign him from Monaco.<\/p>\n

Reports have suggested that Camara would only be considered if Mac Allister left, though if the Merseysiders have ambitions of winning trophies, bringing a potential transfer forward would be beneficial to their goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool will carefully consider their options before committing to signing\u00a0Ismaila Sarr from Crystal Palace in January, the newest…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1189016,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,4230,393,68644,94,707,2826,4884,179,22138,7126,101,4151,93,68303,10938,1068,16,15],"class_list":["post-1189015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-liverpool","tag-britain","tag-cycling","tag-england","tag-epl","tag-football","tag-formula-1","tag-golf","tag-great-britain","tag-liverpool","tag-nfl","tag-olympics","tag-premier-league","tag-rugby","tag-sport","tag-sports-mole","tag-teams","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/117222189930205346","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1189015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1189015"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1189015\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1189016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1189015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1189015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1189015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
