Liverpool are now eyeing a move to sign Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh this summer, according to Stretty News.
The Reds are expected to have a very busy transfer window having already completed the signing of Netherlands international Jeremie Frimpong, while Trent Alexander-Arnold has seen his move to Real Madrid completed too.
But there are expected to be more additions in attack too with the futures of Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa and Cody Gakpo all in question, and the club have now identified the 20-year-old Gambian as a target.
Liverpool Want to Sign Minteh

Minteh, who has been described as 'electric' this season, is emerging as a player that Liverpool chiefs like the look of following his debut campaign in the Premier League.
The Gambian joined the Seagulls in a £30m deal from Newcastle as the Magpies looked to ease their FFP concerns, and he had a big impact at the Amex Stadium with seven goals and four assists in his first season in all competitions.
Now Liverpool are taking a look at him, while Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham are all said to be holding an interest in capturing his services this summer too.

A lightning-fast winger, Minteh likes to play on the right flank and cut in on his left foot, in similar fashion to star man Mohamed Salah, and he could be seen as the perfect understudy to the Egyptian.
Liverpool are already keen on strengthening their attack this summer, with the Reds on the verge of sealing a deal to sign Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz in a club-record deal - with Fabrizio Romano reporting there is an agreement in place with the player and he is ready to fly once a deal is agreed between the clubs.
Arne Slot is also looking to bring in a new striker and Frankfurt star Hugo Ekitike has emerged as someone being targeted in a big-money deal.
