After a hectic start to the transfer window for Liverpool, activity has slowed in recent weeks.

Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz, and Giorgi Mamardashvili offer four intriguing arrivals this summer as Arne Slot looks to reshape the squad he inherited from Jurgen Klopp.

One, in fact, has been highlighted by transfer activity elsewhere in the Premier League this week.

That Arsenal brought in Noni Madueke from Chelsea raised some eyebrows across the division, especially given he cost an initial £48.5million ($65.5m).

Liverpool doesn't have a huge amount of back up for Mohamed Salah.

Admittedly, the Reds have the best left-footed winger in Premier League history, but should Mohamed Salah drop out, there is a dearth of like-for-like replacements at Slot’s disposal.

Ben Doak is the only obvious substitution, but at 19 and having never started a Premier League game, he would hardly be considered a reliable alternative at this stage

That he could still leave this summer is another complication, with sources revealing to Liverpool.com that a potential move is still in the offing but dependent on other deals.

Harvey Elliott is another solution if Salah misses out, but the left-footer isn’t seen as a natural winger, clearly isn’t trusted by Slot, and, like Doak, could be off this summer.

Luis Diaz and Federico Chiesa have played off the right before, while Jeremie Frimpong’s ability to occupy a more advanced role was partly what attracted Liverpool to complete a deal for the Dutchman this summer.



In fact, Salah could miss up to seven games across December and January, depending on Egypt’s success.

Should the normally injury-free star pick up any niggles or knocks in the autumn or spring months, and suddenly the thought of Liverpool missing its prized asset for half the campaign doesn’t feel too far-fetched.

In reality, with Salah now 33 and having just two years left on his contract, finding another viable option to play off the right must be occupying Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards’ long-term plans
