Daily Mirror IconSportFootballLiverpool FCTalk of Mohamed Salah's Liverpool exit has ramped up in recent months, in light of his outburst in December, and Emile Heskey has several players he'd like to see replace the EgyptianFormer Liverpool star Emile Heskey has earmarked replacements for Mohamed Salah and says PSG ace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia "would be my go-to".The Egyptian signed a two-year deal to remain at Anfield in the summer, but he's now into his 30s and this season has been the first sign of a decline. Heskey sees him as the ideal replacement - with West Ham's Jarrod Bowen also on his wishlist.He told OLBG: "We’re talking about replacing Mohamed Salah and I think as fans you’ve got to look at something different because you can’t replace Mo Salah.

I think most players are a downgrade compared to Salah but to be honest with you Bowen is a different type of player and he would probably help the formation because he’s going to work a little bit harder than Mo."Heskey has also cited Christian Pulisic as a potential target, despite him failing to deliver consistently at Chelsea. "He is very direct.

He probably didn’t get as many goals as I would have liked him to get at Chelsea but I thought he gave defences problems. Obviously after a good World Cup, being at home with the pressure on him, he is definitely someone who could offer something different to Mohamed Salah or even Cody Gakpo right now."Mo left Chelsea to go to Italy and look at what he’s done for Liverpool.
