LIVERPOOL have been encouraged to raid Napoli at the end of the season and try to sign Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah, who looks set to leave Anfield in the summer when his current contract at the club expires.
Kvaratskhelia is a player that all the big clubs have been linked with over the past few seasons and is a man that has been heavily tipped to leave Napoli in the next few windows if his £87 million asking price is met.
Chelsea were heavily linked with the player during the summer window, but in the end, the attacker made the decision to stay put and wait for the right club to come in and make that next step up with.
There has been alot of players linked with a move to Anfield, but now pundit Danny Murphy has encouraged the Reds to make a move for Kvaratskhelia – Speaking to Boylesports, who offer the latest Champions League odds, Danny Murphy said: “On potential Mohamed Salah replacements, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is a really good player, similar to Luis Diaz or Cody Gakpo in running with the ball with his athleticism and his ability to make things happen, but he’s not prolific.
‘He’s not a goal threat for entire games. I’ve seen him play live a couple of times, I was at the Euros, I’ve watched him a lot. He’s a terrific talent, but he’s similar to what Liverpool have got in some respects.’

Kvaratskhelia is a quality player, but as Murphy said, he is not prolific and would struggle to get 15-20 goal a season in the Premier League, but he would still be a quality signing for LIVERPOOL if they do decide to make a move for the player.
MBEUMO PRICE SET
Brentford have slapped an asking price of £60m on Bryan Mbeumo as he continues to be linked with Liverpool as a possible replacement for Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, who is out of contract at the Reds at the end of the season.
Salah has been one of the best players in the Premier League for quite some time now and one of the best finishers that Liverpool fans have seen in recent times.
He managed 24-goals for LIVERPOOL last season, but this season he has started the campaign in great fashion and giving everything he possibly can for the Reds in what seems to be his final season at the club.
Salah is one of three key players into the last year of his contract at Anfield alongside Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold and manager Arne Slot has admitted the trio “could become a problem” for the Reds.
Salah has been linked with a move to the Middle East in the last year and has one year remaining on his Reds contract. As it stands, he will be free to leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the season.
What is the Lates?
Only Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland has more goals than Mbeumo so far this season and reports say his form has caught the eye of Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle.
