Liverpool have reportedly identified two players to replace Mohamed Salah in the future – one of whom spent seven years at Chelsea.

The Reds began the season in style, winning their first seven matches across all competitions after a busy summer where they spent £420million on seven new signings.

Several players have come under criticism, including talisman Salah who, by his lofty standards, has endured a slow start to the campaign, scoring just once from open play in the league.

The winger, one of Liverpool’s greatest ever players, is under contract until 2027, by which stage he’ll be 35 and the club are now looking to find a player capable of succeeding the Egyptian King.
