Liverpool great Steve Nicol believes Victor Osimhen would be a "fantastic" buy after he was quizzed on who could replace Mohamed Salah.

The forward has topped the club's goalscoring charts every season he's been on Merseyside with Nicol adamant that Liverpool must replace him with a prolific frontman if they are to sign a new face.

He said on ESPN FC: "The fact that Salah is going to be going, whether this year or next year, Osimhen?

Nicol also claimed that landing Osimhen, who has helped Napoli win Serie A, would mean that Darwin Nunez would be forced to play in a wider role.

The ex-Benfica man has shown glimpses of quality but his finishing has been criticised whilst Osimhen has shown himself to be ruthless in front of goal.

The Nigerian, who signed for Napoli from Lille several seasons ago, has been heavily linked with Chelsea and has confessed that a move to the English top flight is eventually on his radar.

Victor Osimhen is one of Europe's most in-demand frontmen.

Napoli have also shown themselves willing to part with their best players for the right fee and Osimhen is expected to eventually seek pastures new.
