Liverpool have stepped up their interest in Paris Saint-Germain star Bradley Barcola, who is rated at well over £100m. The Reds have held preliminary talks with the France international’s representatives and have been given encouraging signals from the player’s camp over a potential switch to Anfield. And it’s understood Liverpool are now ready to begin negotiations with PSG over Barcola, who is predominantly a left-winger. Ngumoha has revealed he has been working on playing as a right-winger in training after being utilised in the position during Liverpool’s pre-season friendly win over Wrexham. The 17-year-old has predominantly been used as a left-winger in his fledgling career to date, and was stationed in his natural position for Liverpool’s opening match of their pre-season tour of the United States against Sunderland. However, he caught the eye when utilised on the right wing by Thomas Tuchel when handed his senior England debut against New Zealand earlier this summer. Ngumoha has hinted that he could feature on the right-hand side more in the months after, admitting it is something he has been working on in training. “All the coaching staff are just telling me to play my normal game really, whether that’s going inside or outside,” he said. “I’ve been working on it in training anyway, playing on the right and the left. Just being unpredictable really. “On from the end of last season, I just want to play and start as many games as I can. “These games are a really good showcase to show the manager, because it’s a fresh start for everyone. It’s really important and it’s good. “All the lads are treating me like I’m a professional player. Obviously, I’m still young and I’m learning, but all the players have been top. It has been good.”
