Bradley Barcola has said that he doesn’t feel any pressure to try and emulate Mo Salah at Liverpool and is instead focusing on creating his own legacy at Anfield.
At the end of the summer, the Reds spent an initial £106m (potentially rising to £123m, via The Athletic) to sign the French winger from Paris Saint-Germain, with the 24-year-old effectively brought in as the right-sided replacement for the Egyptian King.
It took the new signing seven matches to get off the mark for LFC, with that famine turning to feast in the form of a hat-trick against LASK in mid-October, and he’s followed that up with assists in the wins over Brentford and Brighton (Transfermarkt).
