He's the one: 20-cap England forward is Richard Hughes' sensible Salah successor Mohamed Salah is bringing the curtain down on his nine-year Liverpool career. Reds fans were left reeling on Tuesday when the Egyptian King published a video to his social media channels confirming his departure at the end of the season. It truly is the end of an era for Liverpool - with Salah arguably the greatest player in the club’s long and illustrious history.
He’s scored 255 goals, won countless individual honours and played a key role in the Anfield club winning the biggest trophies in the game. The Egyptian King is quite simply irreplaceable. But someone is going to have to soon step into Salah’s No11 shirt and take his place on the right wing.
Do Liverpool have anyone on the books right now who could do that? Not right now. So it looks like they are going to have to go into the transfer market for a solution - either long-term or short-term.
It would be no surprise to see a young player like Yan Diomande brought in. But can a teenager who has never been road-tested in the Premier League be relied upon? Risky.
