Hammers raid for Salah replacement
Numerous websites are reporting today that Liverpool could consider raiding West Ham if and when Mo Salah moves to the Saudi Pro League in the summer.
Saudi interest in Salah is well-known, and the Reds are reportedly demanding a fee of over £100m for a player who will be 32 this summer. With manager Jurgen Klopp set to depart Anfield at the end of the season, it seems logical that his talisman will depart at the same time.
This would leave Liverpool in need of a right-sided replacement, and our own Jarrod Bowen has been suggested. It’s unclear whether these are old regurgitated stories or fresh interest, which would be bad news for West Ham.
Klopp is known to be a keen admirer of Bowen, recently calling him “my favourite player outside of Liverpool.” However, with the Liverpool manager departing soon, the transfer speculation could simply be a lazy link . . . I certainly hope so.
Liverpool are reportedly targeting Bowen as a Salah replacement
The new Anfield scouting set-up are believed to be interested in Real Madrid’s excellent Rodrygo, who is rumoured to be lined up as Salah’s replacement. The Spanish club is reportedly demanding £100m for the Brazilian, which could prompt Liverpool to turn their attention to West Ham in pursuit of Bowen.
