Liverpool ready to land the Senegalese Rio Ngumoha

Could Liverpool now double up on elite wonderkid wingers? They plan to.

Caught Offside claims Liverpool are the ones leading the race for Ibrahim Mbaye. Mbaye, who represents Senegal internationally but was born in France, could leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

And it's an interesting one for Liverpool. Mbaye, after all, has great parallels with Rio Ngumoha as a much-talked-about teenage winger at a top club.

Both are finding their feet at the elite level and hoping to leap into the top bracket very soon. However, both want more minutes, too.

Mbaye has started just nine for PSG and is struggling for consistent minutes. Similar can be said about Ngumoha, though he's a year prior in his development.

But it would be a move for something similar. Liverpool could end up with two incredibly talented teenage wingers and then the question becomes 'can you develop both?'.

It's a difficult one to answer. How many matches would a top team want to play with teenagers on both flanks? Surely not very many but it would be necessary if Liverpool wanted the pair to fulfil their outrageous potential.

Certainly, it's one to watch this summer.
