Report: Liverpool considering move for 21-year-old Premier League forward Liverpool succession plan sharpens as Minteh emerges in post-Salah thinking Liverpool’s forward planning has moved into a decisive phase as the club prepares for life beyond Mohamed Salah, with recruitment discussions increasingly focused on evolution rather than replication. According to Lewis Steele in the Daily Mail , the club accept that replacing Salah on a like-for-like basis is unrealistic. Instead, the emphasis is on redefining the attacking structure.
Arne Slot has already hinted at a philosophical shift. Liverpool are no longer solely reliant on a high-output wide forward cutting inside, but are exploring profiles capable of destabilising low blocks through unpredictability and pace. Slot admitted: “We are aware that football has changed in England… we cannot shut our eyes for the new reality.
” That reality has been evident in recent matches, where Liverpool have struggled to break down compact defensive units. Across Europe, elite sides now favour dynamic wingers who thrive in one v one scenarios, capable of creating chaos in tight spaces. This is the blueprint Liverpool are now targeting.

The Brighton winger, previously coached by Slot at Feyenoord, offers precisely the attributes Liverpool are now prioritising. Lewis Steele highlighted Minteh’s rise, noting: “Another option is Minteh at Brighton, whom Slot coached at Feyenoord.
