Liverpool's transfer plans have been questioned this summer and fan Sam Milne believes the Reds have been too "scattergun" in their approach for a new forward player.
Andoni Iraola's side have been linked to a host of new attackers, including Paris St-Germain duo Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye, and have had offers knocked back for Brighton's Yankuba Minteh - and are now exploring a move for Crystal Palace's Isamila Sarr in the last week of the transfer window.
Speaking on BBC Radio Merseyside, Milne said: "I was surprised at first because if you look at the right wingers that Liverpool have been trying to sign all summer, they have all been very different.
"The reaction to the bid for Sarr has been quite negative. I don't think that's a reflection on Sarr himself because Liverpool fans have seen what he can do against us - I think he's scored six goals against Liverpool. It's more the difference in Sarr to the other players that have been linked.
"The rumours came out about Minteh and Liverpool put £60m in for him. An injured Minteh and a left-footed Minteh - which is interesting because Mohamed Salah was left-footed and Yan Diomande was both-footed, but Mbaye wasn't left-footed and neither is Sarr. That's where the worry starts to lie for Liverpool fans. What are we attempting?
"The word I've been using is scattergun. It feels like Liverpool are just saying: 'Right, who's been on the shortlist in the past? Can we get them?'"
