Liverpool are expected to add at least one attacker to their squad between now and the end of the summer transfer window.
And if Cody Gakpo secures a move to Tottenham, they will be forced to replace him as well, which is a difficult situation for Andoni Iraola to deal with.
The Reds remain locked in talks to sign Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye from PSG, but the Parisians are driving a hard bargain to part with the talented duo.
Yankuba Minteh has been mentioned as a potential Barcola alternative, with Brighton reportedly valuing him at around £70m.
However, he will not be moving to Liverpool this summer after his latest injury blow.
Yankuba Minteh injury scuppers potential Liverpool move
The Reds aren’t in active talks to sign Minteh but have admired him for a while now, with multiple sources confirming that Liverpool have had a look at him for their right wing spot to replace Mohamed Salah.
However, he picked up a foot injury in the friendly against Roma and is expected to be out of action for 2-3 months, according to The Athletic.
The Gambian winger has steadily improved since getting his big break and has already played plenty of Premier League football for a 22-year-old.
His latest injury is a big blow, but Liverpool will continue to keep tabs on him as he is a historic transfer target for the club.
