Despite his recent injury absence, Mohamed Salah remains Liverpool's leading man.

The Egyptian has already scored 21 times in all competitions this season, finding the net in both of his starts since returning to the fold.

Yet there will come a time when Liverpool must prepare for life without Salah.



While he has hardly looked like slowing up this season, time eventually catches up on all, even the very best.

Saudi Pro League clubs are likely to reignite their interest in Salah again this summer although Liverpool will likely give them short shrift, unless it receives a groundbreaking offer.

A number of potential replacements have been reported to be on Liverpool's radar in the past, most notably Wolves' Pedro Neto.

However, his injury record is likely to be of concern with the Portugal international again sidelined at present.

Former Reds defender Mark Lawrenson has suggested Jarrod Bowen as an alternative and suggested the England international moving to Anfield is 'very much a possibility'.

Speaking to Paddy Power, Lawrenson said: "Bowen can play in all three positions across the front line, gets you goals and work hard.

He has found the net 14 times in the Premier League this term, with only four players scoring more — Erling Haaland, Ollie Watkins, Dominic Solanke and Salah.

The 27-year-old did only sign a new long-term contract last October so will not be available for cheap, with West Ham having paid $28m (£22m/€26m) to sign him from Hull in 2020.

On Salah, Lawrenson suggested the Egyptian could well depart Anfield this summer.

Another center-back is needed and that might be the priority."

Liverpool.com says: Bowen remains one of the best Premier League players outside the top six and it is no surprise to see him linked with a move.
