He might want to change the formation.“I know that he was talking about a 4-4-2 diamond midfield and not having high and wide wingers and that would need something different.“I don’t think you can replace Mo Salah but I do like the lad from PSG, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

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.“I’m not saying Mo doesn’t work hard but Bowen has a different work rate and work ethic because he’s coming from West Ham and before that the lower leagues. 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.

I think it’d be great to see someone like Pulisic come back into the Premier League in the same way.“I’m guessing he would love to show that his time at Chelsea was just a little blip. He was only a young lad when he came over.”Ensure our latest sport headlines always appear at the top of your Google Search by making us a Preferred Source.
