Liverpool nears signing of right-winger amid squad depth concerns
Summary

Liverpool is reportedly moving closer to signing a right-winger this summer as they look to strengthen their squad. The need for new wingers has become urgent following the departure of Mohamed Salah and the previous sale of Luis Diaz, which left the team short on quality and depth. As reliance on players out of their natural positions became apparent, Liverpool's attacking options grew predictable and less effective. Brighton's recent signing of Zadok Yohanna could signal a potential departure of winger Yankuba Minteh, creating an opportunity for Liverpool to secure a key addition. The Reds may require at least two high-caliber wingers to boost their attacking capabilities and ensure competition for places within the squad.
