Liverpool are hurtling towards a controversial transfer. One that may have Andoni Iraola - and fans - scratching their heads.

Liverpool had a strange old summer. They lost three key players in Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate and arguably didn't replace any of them.

Konate has the most obvious 'replacement'. Jeremy Jacquet has taken on his role and done so brilliantly, though the 21-year-old was signed before his compatriot decided to leave.

The plan had been for Jacquet to play alongside Konate, not entirely replace him. Still, it's ended up working out (for now).

Robertson just hasn't been replaced full stop. Kostas Tsimikas returned from his loan at AS Roma and slotted into the backup left-back role, but the Greek international was supposed to have left the club last year.

Then there's Salah. Now, Liverpool did splash the cash to try and replace his output , signing Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain for a lot of money. Victor Munoz also arrived to carry some of the burden.

But neither are right-sided wingers. Both play off their right foot from the left, and Liverpool never did sign someone to play from the right.

The truly mad thing is that Liverpool may now sign another left-winger. They currently have four in their squad with zero able to operate naturally from the right.
