“He is a brilliant player,” – Liverpool told to sign perfect Mo Salah replacement

Michael Owen believes one particular “brilliant” Premier League player is the ideal man to replace Mohamed Salah if he leaves Liverpool when his contract expires at the end of the current season

Salah is enjoying a brilliant season for Liverpool, scoring 21 goals and creating 17 assists in just 29 games in all competitions to keep the Reds top of the Premier League, but there is alot of speculation about his future.

The whole world of football knows that he is out of contract at the end of the season and more likely to leave the club than stay, as talks over a new contract have not got any better in recent weeks, despite his great start to the new season.

There has been alot of players linked with a move to Liverpool, but now former Reds striker Owen believes that Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo would be an ideal purchase to succeed the Egyptian at Anfield

Semenyo has just seven goals and three assists this season for the Cherries, but many believe that those numbers would rise if he made that step up and joined one of the big Premier League sides in the coming seasons.

“He is a brilliant player,” Owen told Premier League Productions. “He scores goals – and we don’t know if Mohamed Salah will stay or leave but, if he leaves, Semenyo should be his replacement.”

Look, losing Salah would be a massive loss to that attack, he scores and creates so many goals for the club, but this could be that season he has before the drop off comes.

Liverpool must know that at 32-years of age he will not get any better and although they would probably like him to stay, Arne Slot has a long-term plan that probably will not include Salah in more than 2 seasons.
