Kimmich is a superstar in the making but he's played predominantly RB for Bayern this season so maybe sticking him on the left in attack isn't the most natural fit.
Can't think of too many names apart from the obvious ones like Pulisic.
If we get Alisson AND Fekir, it's pretty likely we won't be making any other big fee signings this transfer window. And it's anticipated Pulisic is going to command a really big fee.
So you're thinking someone else who can cut in on his right foot and, for example, curl a shot in like Coutinho used to do for us, and how Salah does with his left?
You haven't liked what you've seen from Moses Simon? He's good with both feet, could fill in for both Mane and Salah, and would cost under 15 mil.

He's had a good couple of seasons and could play the #10 similar to Coutinho, while also competing with Mane on the left to ensure he stays motivated and firing. He'd be available for around 25 mil I reckon.

So, who knows, maybe Woodburn may be the one to step up this year, after TAA succeeded in doing so this year. But if our front three stay fit, I don't anticipate him or Brewster getting much of a chance.
