Richard Hughes left 'captivated' by Mo Salah replacement Liverpool's hunt for their Mohamed Salah replacement is likely to dominate most of their transfer window. Before the Egyptian King even announced that he was going to be exiting Anfield this summer, fans already felt like their attack was lacking in a couple of areas. This caused many rumours to emerge and, now that Salah is actually leaving , Liverpool could do with at least two new attackers otherwise they could find themselves in a bit of trouble.

Several wingers have already been rumoured to be of interest to the Anfield outfit but now, the Reds' replacement for their star man feels clearer than ever. Liverpool's management have been left 'captivated' by the performances of Abde Ezzalzouli Abde Ezzalzouli is probably a name that most people wouldn't have heard of in England. However, within Spain, the Moroccan is one of Real Betis' most well-known players.

The 24-year-old has been in fine form for Manuel Pellegrini this term as he's managed to contribute to 24 goals across all competitions. His best position is on the left-wing but, there have been moments throughout his career when he's been used on the right. And, since Liverpool have been on the hunt for a new attacker for some time now, it's hardly surprising to see them being linked with Ezzalzouli .

In fact, a fresh report from Info Real Betis has detailed how serious the Reds' interest in the winger actually is. "The Reds' need to refresh their wings has led the English club's scouts to focus on Abde's consistent performance in LaLiga and European competition," they wrote. "His ability to unbalance defenses in one-on-one situations and his effectiveness in front of goal have captivated the sporting management at Anfield, who see the green-and-white attacker as the ideal profile for their vertical style of play.
