Ben Doak’s Liverpool future could depend on departures elsewhere this summer, with several Premier League clubs monitoring the winger’s situation.

The 19-year-old, who enjoyed a fruitful loan spell at Middlesbrough this season, remains in an uncertain position ahead of Liverpool’s return to pre-season training in 10 days time.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah’s decision to sign a two-year extension in April has skewed the picture of Doak’s future prospects and immediate opportunities to play in the first team.

Liverpool.com understands the player is open to a summer departure, with a permanent exit or him remaining at the club this season now the two most likely scenarios.

For instance, the futures of Eberechi Eze at Palace and Antoine Semenyo at Bournemouth could play a decisive factor in Doak’s future.

Should either leave, the Liverpool youngster is seen as a possible replacement.

In a summer where Dean Huijsen and Kerkez have already left, Kepa Arrizabalaga’s loan has expired and Illia Zabarnyi could also move on, the south-coast club is taking a firm stance on any other possible departures.

Ben Doak enjoyed an impressive loan spell at Middlesbrough this season

Sources have indicated he is eagerly awaiting any news and is determined to continue his development next season.

Doak ended that impressive loan spell with an injury that curtailed the campaign, and he didn’t play after January due to a thigh issue.

The forward, who has made 10 senior appearances for Liverpool, will be fit to begin pre-season on 7 July and recently posted videos of himself undergoing personal training in Portugal.
