Liverpool projected to sign African winger Yankuba Minteh in January
Summary

Liverpool is likely to pursue a transfer for Yankuba Minteh during the January window, following a promising start under manager Andoni Iraola. The team has achieved two wins in two Champions League games and remains unbeaten in the Premier League. Despite some inconsistencies, Iraola is working with younger players and addressing squad needs, particularly at right-wing, where Minteh is seen as a key target. His previous injury postponed a summer move, but reports indicate that renewing interest is contingent on his recovery.
