Virals: Twitter poll gives verdict on ideal winger signing this summer

Liverpool fans have been clamouring for transfers since day dot of the summer window in order to fight for major honours once again next season. 

Despite retaining a majority of the all-conquering side of 2019/20, as well as adding Thiago and Diogo Jota, injuries to key players meant the Reds struggled to get going last term. 

Having already confirmed the arrival of French central defender Ibrahima Konate, many are eagerly awaiting a midfield and forward to follow through the Anfield doors. 

Linked with a plethora of names for both roles, LFC Transfer Room on Twitter narrowed down the attacking search to just two targets and gave fans the opportunity to state their preference. 

Leeds United star Raphinha ran out a relatively comfortable winner over Bayern Munich ace Kingsley Coman – both of whom options that would provide cover across the frontline

The 24-year-old Brazilian enjoyed a superb debut season in the Premier League, scoring six and assisting another nine goals in 30 outings.

Meanwhile, serial winner Coman netted five goals and registered 12 assists in the Bundesliga – whilst the 25-year-old added another league title to a glittering career.

Signing either would be a huge boost to the options Klopp has at his disposal. 

However, with just over a £20million market value discrepancy between the pair and Coman’s less than impressive injury record, Raphinha is right to be installed as the preferred choice. 

Although both players would represent large outlays, the Brazilian is likely to be the more attainable of the two and judging by the Kopites’ verdict, the more desirable arrival. 

Moreover, during France’s shock exit from Euro 2020 on Monday night, Coman was forced off with an injury – a sight all too familiar to scarred Liverpool fans.
