Liverpool are continuing their pursuit of Crystal Palace winger Ismaïla Sarr, even as a separate deal involving Bradley Barcola has been agreed, according to ESPN FC's Transfer Talk.

The Merseyside club have identified Sarr as a priority target and remain in contact with Crystal Palace as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.

Liverpool's interest in Sarr underlines their determination to add wide attacking quality to their squad, with the Senegalese winger regarded as one of the more exciting wide forwards available in the current transfer window.
