Liverpool are currently lacking in depth in the wide areas, and Mohamed Salah is the only reliable winger at the club right now, apart from Cody Gakpo. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for Fofana. The player is reportedly a target for Everton as well.

It will be interesting to see if Liverpool decide to make a move for the 20-year-old Belgian attacker in the coming weeks.
