Liverpool have two new options to replace Mohamed Salah | OneFootball

Mohamed Salah leaving Liverpool was something that most people thought would happen over the next year or so.

In fact, some fans even believed that he'd choose to follow when his contract expired.

However, that wasn't what happened with Liverpool choosing to spend on an obscene amount of money on new players to try and reaffirm their place as England's best team.

Again, this isn't exactly what's happened as the club are currently battling for the Champions League places and find themselves in fifth position.

This lack of form has almost forced the Reds' hand into entering the transfer market for new players with two intriguing options now emerging as potential replacements for the Egyptian King.

Replacing Salah is clearly not going to be an easy task for Arne Slot and Richard Hughes to accomplish.

Even though the attacker hasn't been in the best run of form this season, it's still going to be hard for Liverpool to find a player as good as him.

This is why many different options are being looked at by the club with most fans probably thinking that Yan Diomande or Bazoumana Toure will be the one to fill the void.

However, over the last couple of days more links have started to emerge and now, Jarrod Bowen and Dario Osorio are actually being looked at as potential options for the Anfield outfit.

A report from DaveOCKOP has detailed that Bowen is now a name that Liverpool are 'looking at' this summer.

The online outlet details that even if West Ham United don't end up being relegated then the 29-year-old could still be an option for the club.

The Reds need somebody who can hit the ground running as soon as they arrive which is exactly what Bowen gives them.

In Osorio's case, the links have emerged from talkSPORT with the player himself admitting that Liverpool are interested in signing him.

"My agent tells me when there’s genuine interest, and to be honest, I don’t really follow social media on those topics," he said.

"As I said before, I always dream of playing in the best stadiums in the world against the best teams."

Even though Bowen and Osorio would both be impressive transfers for Liverpool, it feels like there's only one winner if Slot wants him to come in and instantly replace Salah.

Osorio is a good option for a long-term replacement but, since the Reds will need someone to come in and help ease the pressure from Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz's shoulders, Bowen is the player Liverpool should sign.

He already has years of Premier League experience under his belt and, even though the Hammers are 17th in the league, he's still contributed to 19 goals across all competitions.

He's been played all across the front three this term but his favoured position is on the right-wing which is exactly where they'll have a gap that needs to be filled.

And, if the Reds' injury crisis follows them through into the 2026-27 season, the Englishman could fill in for Isak if needed.
