Liverpool seeks reinforcements as transfer deadline approaches

Head coach Andoni Iraola acknowledges the need for new players, particularly on the wings, with ongoing talks to acquire Yankuba Minteh from Brighton. Additionally, negotiations with PSG for winger Bradley Barcola remain complicated due to high price demands.
