Liverpool plotting summer move to sign West Ham star even if they avoid relegation - report

Liverpool are in the market for a new forward ahead of the summer transfer window, with Mohamed Salah departing, and according to journalist DaveOckop, they could be set to raid West Ham.

Salah confirmed earlier this month that he will be heading through the exit door at Anfield at the end of the season, despite his deal not expiring until next summer.

The Egyptian international is still scoring goals in the Premier League, so Arne Slot's recruitment team need to find an adequate replacement when the transfer window opens.

Salah hasn't hit his usual heights this season, but it's still imperative that the Reds bring in a top-level right-sided forward later this year.

According to journalist DaveOckop, Liverpool are showing an interest in signing West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen ahead of the summer transfer window as a possible replacement for Salah.

Relegation for the Hammers could force a sale, but Liverpool remain interested in the forward even if they manage to stay in the Premier League.

Liverpool have a long-standing interest in the England international, and he's been one of the best right-wingers in the Premier League over the last few years.

Keeping hold of Bowen won't be easy for the Hammers if they are relegated from the top flight, as there's no doubt he'll want to continue playing at the highest level.

Bowen Would be Rare Signing for Liverpool

It's rare that Liverpool sign players reaching the latter stages of his career, and although Bowen has plenty of life left in him, he does turn 30 later this year.

The Reds often target players in the under-25 bracket, but they need to find a player who is ready-made in order to replace someone as important as Salah.

Bowen hasn't been as effective for West Ham this term as he has in previous seasons, but there's no doubt that the quality of the squad and the situation they are in has played a part.

It would be interesting to see how much the Hammers would demand, especially if they are relegated from the Premier League.
