Liverpool interest in 29-year-old Mo Salah replacement is confirmed

Liverpool hold an interest in one of the Premier League's most interesting forwards. Is he able to replace Mo Salah, though?

DaveOCKOP reports that Liverpool have an interest in Jarrod Bowen and he’s on their summer shortlist. Bowen may leave West Ham United at the end of the season.

It’s said that Liverpool’s interest does not hinge on West Ham remaining in the top flight or not. The Hammers are in a relegation battle right now and if they go down, it’s almost certain that Bowen moves on.

But Liverpool will ask about him anyway. It’s a move that really does ‘make sense’ - in that it’s a classic Liverpool move.

The Reds have wanted Bowen for years and he was touted as a potential signing back in 2022 when Mohamed Salah nearly left the club. Now, four years on, they may finally move for him.

Though, Bowen will turn 30 in December and this would be his final real opportunity to move to a club challenging for major honours. We expect that would make them an easy to sell to the player himself but it is a strange one as an investment from the club.

Replacing Salah this summer won’t be easy, though, and we imagine the ‘replacement’ will be more than one player. Bowen could play a real role in that, boosting the squad depth and adding experience on the flank. Experience that Liverpool are set to lose with Salah’s exit.
