Liverpool have been urged to consider a move for West Ham United captain Jarrod Bowen if they decide to move on from Mohamed Salah in the near future.
The ‘Egyptian King’ has a contract at Anfield running until 2027 but he has been tipped to leave this summer while the club can still extract a transfer fee for him, with reports a move to Saudi Arabia could be on the cards for the attacker.
And amid the speculation, former Chelsea star and TV commentator Andy Townsend has claimed that Liverpool should look to sign West Ham star Jarrod Bowen should they decide to let Salah go at the end of the season: “Who can Liverpool bring in to take Mohamed Salah’s place next season? I think Jarrod Bowen would do very well for LIVERPOOL,” Townsend continued.
“I don’t quite get the Rodrygo links. Clearly if you play for Real Madrid you’ve got great ability but I’ve never seen him as a Galactico.
“Jarrod Bowen would absolutely go to Liverpool and be a real threat for them from the right on that side. They’d have Cody Gakpo, Hugo Ekitike and Jarrod Bown. They give you pace, work rate, goals and real output. That’s a frontline that has everything you could want.
“Liverpool are going to have to look at Bowen because I just don’t see Salah staying beyond this summer. Whatever’s gone on at Anfield, it’s just taken a bit of wind out of Mo’s sails.
“Whether it’s a relationship problem or he’s just getting older, whatever it is he’s never going to be able to keep producing the numbers like he has done in the past. It just looks like Mo is now running out of steam and there’s no shame in that.
‘It’s just football. It’s part and parcel of getting older. Mo’s best days are behind him and they’ve got to replace him.”
