Liverpool cult hero Emile Heskey believes that AC Milan star Christian Pulisic could be a useful replacement for Mohamed Salah at Anfield if the superstar decides to leave Anfield at the end of the current season.
Salah’s contract situation and dip in form have intensified chatter that he could be on the move — potentially to the Saudi Pro League or MLS — triggering the need for LIVERPOOL to identify attacking reinforcements.
Speaking to reporters, Heskey acknowledged the near‑impossible task of replacing a decade of prolific output from Salah and that has led to all sorts of speculation in the media about who could replace Salah at Liverpool, and that has led to claims that the Reds are interested in bringing American star Pulisic back to the Premier League from Seria A
The American forward boasts Premier League experience from a stint at Chelsea and has starred in Italy for AC Milan. A return to England is being speculated on, as he delays the signing of a new contract at San Siro, and Heskey feels ‘Captain America’ could be a shrewd addition to Arne Slot’s squad.
The former LIVERPOOL striker told OLBG: “I actually quite like Christian Pulisic. 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. I think it’d be great to see someone like Pulisic come back into the Premier League in the same way because 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.”
