Mohamed Salah is expected to leave Liverpool this summer (Picture: Getty) Emile Heskey has named three possible replacements for Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah, including Chelsea flop Christian Pulisic. The 27-year-old has been tentatively linked with a return to the Premier League in recent weeks, however, having enjoyed a revival at AC Milan, netting 42 goals across the past three seasons. ‘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,’ Heskey told OLBG. ‘I remember one season I was speaking to someone who said Mo’s had a bad season.

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.
