Egyptian international Mohamed Salah, who has stated his desire to remain at Anfield, has not signed a new contract with Liverpool at the moment.There is talk that an offer has been presented by the club, but no official announcement has yet been made.
Whether or not he renews his contract, Liverpool will be looking to replace the ace, who will be 33 next year, with a player who can threaten opposition defences from the right wing in the medium to long term.
Ghanaian international Mohammed Kudus, who plays for West Ham United, continues to be touted as one of the targets.
According to the Sunday Mirror, Liverpool could make a move for the 24-year-old attacker in the winter transfer window. Arsenal and Newcastle United, also in the Premier League, have also expressed interest.
The player, who has played for the London club since last season, has secured a regular place in the team since David Moyes’ departure. He has scored two goals and provided two assists in 13 games so far, despite a suspension due to a sending off.
With coach Julen Lopetegui’s team itself not yet in top form, there have been some noticeable lapses in attack. This has also affected his goal and assist figures, which don’t seem to have improved, but he has a record of 18 goals in 48 games last season.
He can play on the left or right wing and has a strong, physical and powerful game. He is more of an attacking midfielder than a genuine scorer and is a good chance-maker. He has scored 11 goals in 34 games for Ghana.
Will the 24-year-old attacker, who is also gaining a growing reputation in England, step up his game this winter…?
