The winger was given his first taste of English football in the 2-0 win at Ipswich with Alexander Isak netting twice in the first half, handing the Reds their first victory of the season.

The £123million summer signing from Paris Saint-Germain was introduced in the 64th minute, replacing Victor Munoz.

 

And it didn’t take long for the pacy Frenchman to make an impact as he clocked up a top speed of 35.9km/h – the fastest speed recorded this season – according to FotMob.

 

That will be music to the ears of Liverpool fans who endured a long drawn-out transfer saga stretching the course of the transfer window.

 

Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola was pleased with Barcola’s 31-minute display and expects the winger to become a greater threat to opposition defences.

More to come from Barcola

 

“I think he had good minutes,” the Spaniard told Sky Sports. “I think he has a very good pass.

 

“In a counter, a couple of times we didn’t find him, so we will have to learn these kinds of movements because he will be in behind, threatening all the time.

 

“He hasn’t played any competitive minutes since the World Cup, so we have to be a little bit more careful, but I think he has been very good.”

 

Barcola is in line to make his first start for the Reds in Wednesday’s Champions League opener against Atletico Madrid at Anfield
