Liverpool is pursuing Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh as a potential alternative if they fail to secure RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande, who has a hefty price tag of over €100 million. Currently, Liverpool is nearing a deal for Osasuna forward Victor Munoz after activating his €40 million release clause. Minteh, regarded for his speed and attacking prowess, averaged 1.9 successful dribbles per game last season, ranking among the top in the Premier League. However, he only registered seven goal involvements in 34 matches, indicating a need for improvement in his output.
