Bradley Barcola is one victim of Paris Saint-Germain’s incredible quality in attack.
Stagger is arguably one of the most promising wingers on the planet, but with the likes of Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to compete against in wide areas, the Frenchman has naturally become frustrated.

That is why it is possible the 23-year-old could leave PSG in the summer transfer window, with Arsenal and Liverpool among the clubs showing an interest in his signature.
There have been talks over Barcola signing a new contract at the Parc Des Princes, although those discussions have stalled, and it appears the exit door has become ajar.
Sky Sports have even revealed that the forward was “disappointed” not to start the Champions League final victory over Arsenal last month, with Luis Enrique bringing him on for Kvaratskhelia with seven minutes of normal time remaining.
Barcola’s discontent at that situation could give him even more reason to depart PSG, and the Ligue 1 giants may be tempted to sell since he has two years left on his contract.
That will be music to the ears of Arsenal and Liverpool, who are both looking for a quality player to improve their output from wide areas.
That being said, PSG will probably have to lower their £112 million asking price to stand any chance of offloading him this summer.
