If Salah leaves this summer, according to one previous England winger, there will be ready-made replacements.
With rumours once again circulating that Liverpool Mohamed Salah could be a top target for a number of clubs in the Saudi Pro League, former Liverpool man Paul Ince has suggested two possible replacements for the Egyptian forward.
While Salah has hinted he will remain at Liverpool next season after the appointment of Arne Slot as the club's new manager, the Reds may be forced into a decision should another huge bid arrive for the 32-year-old.
Liverpool rejected an offer of £150m from Al-Ittihad last summer but with just one year left on his current contract, they may be forced to consider their options if another offer arrives from one of the clubs back by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
Potential Mo Salah replacements at Liverpool
“I think two players could replace Mohamed Salah at Liverpool,” Ince told BET365. “With Michael Olise, he's a very good kid, he could turn out to be a world-class player but I think he needs another year at Palace to play regular football week in and week out.
“The two players I would pick when they are on their game are Mohammed Kudus at West Ham. I think he's very, very good. My favourite is Pedro Neto at Wolves. If he can just stay away from injuries, I think this player is going to be world class. I really, really do.
“So I hope he gets a lot of time in Portugal in the Euros because he is unbelievable. If Salah does go, I'll be going for Neto. I know the Wolves won't like me to hear me say that being an ex-Wolves player, but those are the two that I'd be looking at.”
Kudus enjoyed an impressive debut campaign in the Premier League, scoring 14 goals in all competitions after signing from Ajax for a fee believed to be £38m. The Ghana international is believed to be attracting interest from a number of top clubs but it is unclear whether new West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui would allow the forward to leave.
Neto has also excelled since arriving in England, with his pace and trickery marking him out as one of Wolverhampton’s most influential forwards. However, the 24-year-old has struggled with injuries and last season made just 24 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals.
