\n \u00a9 IMAGO – Andoni Iraola Liverpool\n <\/p>\n

Andoni Iraola and Richard Hughes spent over \u00a3150 million on new players this summer. <\/p>\n

Many areas among their ranks needed upgrading but, by the end of the window, it was clear that their main focuses were their attack and defence.<\/p>\n

Two new left-wingers were brought in and, while two new centre-backs were welcomed through the Anfield doors, Jeremy Jacquet’s move was already confirmed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most Liverpool fans knew that these deals would be good for the Anfield outfit but, nobody could have guessed how much of an impact they’d already be having.<\/p>\n

Jacquet and Ronald Araujo<\/a> have taken like ducks to water and have made their way into Iraola’s starting XI.<\/p>\n

However, there’s one player among Liverpool’s ranks who could be about to change everything for them.<\/p>\n

Bradley Barcola’s hat trick vs LASK proves how good he can become<\/p>\n

Bradley Barcola is Liverpool’s second-most expensive signing<\/a> ever.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman was bought by the Reds from Paris Saint-Germain for a fee worth around \u00a3123 million this summer.<\/p>\n

Before he joined Liverpool, the 24-year-old only had two years left on his contract with the two-time Champions League winners so many people thought that a deal would be a tad cheaper.<\/p>\n

That evidently didn’t end up being the case and now, he’s having to find his feet in a new country, for a new club, in a new league.<\/p>\n

It’s taken some time for him to get back to his best but, on Wednesday evening, the attacker bagged himself his first-ever hat-trick and proved to the world why Liverpool spent as much as they did on him.<\/p>\n

His speed, coupled with his ability to skip past his opponents and create chances out of nothing was a sight to behold and, if he can recreate that level of performance in the Premier League, he’ll be well on his way to becoming the best player in the world.<\/p>\n

Andoni Iraola will want Bradley Barcola to do a lot of the carrying of Liverpool’s attack<\/p>\n

Over the last couple of years, well over \u00a3300 million has been spent on trying to improve Liverpool’s attack.<\/p>\n

They’ve managed to do this in more ways than one with new strikers, new wingers and new number 10’s all being brought in.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, thanks to injuries, hardly any of Liverpool’s new attackers got to play alongside one another last term with both Isak and Wirtz being injured or just finding themselves in poor form.<\/p>\n

This then led to new attackers such as Barcola being brought in and, although Isak is injured now, the glimpses of Isak and Wirtz that we’ve seen together so far have felt promising<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And, if Barcola can stick to this purple patch of form and continue scoring and continue becoming an important part of Liverpool’s plans, he could very easily become one of the best players in the world.<\/p>\n

Whether that’s in a year or in five, if he continues developing like he is, the \u00a3123 million fee that Liverpool spent on him could end up being seen as a bargain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a9 IMAGO – Andoni Iraola Liverpool Andoni Iraola and Richard Hughes spent over \u00a3150 million on new players…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":658111,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,130827,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-658110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-liverpool-fc-transfer-news","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=658110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/658111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=658110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=658110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=658110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
