Liverpool seems to be on the market for other right-wing options, as a deal for Yankuba Minteh appears to be off the cards in the final week of the transfer window

Liverpool's late flurry in the summer transfer window has taken a turn, as a deal for Yankuba Minteh at Brighton no longer seems to be on the cards.
The Reds had two bids rejected for the right-winger, but following reports that the Seagulls have set a valuation of $109 million, the Merseyside outfit has seemingly moved away from the idea of signing the Gambian international.
That still leaves a glaring void on the right flank, however, following Mohamed Salah's exit earlier this summer, which now needs to be filled. So, with that said, here's a look at five potential options Liverpool could look at late in the market as an alternative to Minteh.
Ibrahim Mbaye (PSG)

Liverpool has been linked with a move for Ibrahim Mbaye throughout the summer transfer window, but a push to land the PSG star has yet to kick off.
Given his availability, there is still an opportunity to land the 18-year-old before other clubs advance further in talks to sign him this summer.
For both club and country, Mbaye has shown he is capable of becoming a superstar in years to come, fitting the profile that Liverpool needs for the long-term health of the team.
While PSG's valuation may be viewed as relatively high, the Reds are running out of alternatives and available players in the market.
Rayan (Bournemouth)

Bournemouth ace Rayan has been heavily linked with a switch to Liverpool, just months after making the move to the south coast club.
The Brazilian managed to pick up five goals and two assists in the Premier League in just 15 appearances, showing plenty of promising displays beyond his output.
At just 20, there is plenty of potential for him to grow further, while he also has experience of working under Andoni Iraola and the demands that come with playing in his system.
The main challenge may be Bournemouth's stance, as the club is unlikely to sanction an exit, while any move would likely come as quite an expensive switch overall.
William Gomes (Porto)

Another promising young option could be William Gomes at Porto, who has impressed in the past year-and-a-half with the club, following his switch from Sao Paulo in Brazil.
The 20-year-old hasn't quite shown the output yet, with 14 goals and three assists in 61 appearances for Porto, but there is clearly some raw ability there to work with for years to come.
He, like Salah, is a left-footed right-winger, and could provide a long-term solution to a problem that hasn't been dealt with over the summer.
Francisco Conceicao (Juventus)

Another young winger in the mould of a left-footed right-winger is Francisco Conceicao at Juventus. The Portuguese international is another star who has shown plenty of potential through the early stages of his career, but he is missing the output to match some of his performances.
At 23, Conceicao is moving closer to the peak of his career, but he still has plenty of time to grow and progress further in the coming years.
The forward has plenty of experience, considering his age profile, which could allow him to settle quicker at a team like Liverpool over some of the other options.
Pedro Neto (Chelsea)

If it's Premier League experience that Liverpool wants, then Pedro Neto appears to be available and could be the best current option on the market to provide some quality.
The 26-year-old hasn't quite managed to make his move to Chelsea work, and with options ahead of him in the pecking order, it looks tough for him to cement his place in the team regularly.
At his best, Neto offers plenty of pace and some end product, though the deal is obviously a risk for his age profile, the potential cost, and the struggles he has displayed while with the Blues.
