Who should Liverpool sign if Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold leave?

Ben McAleer - The Irish Times - 02/04
Liverpool could be in for a busy summer of transfer action if they lose three of their best players
Mohamed Salah

Even at 32 years of age, Salah seems to get better and better. He has been directly involved in 44 of Liverpool’s 69 league goals this season (63.8 per cent), but it’s looking increasingly likely that Salah will depart this summer.

Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)

Mbeumo has Premier League experience and he has been in excellent form this season. Brentford are a far better side with the Cameroon international in the XI; the 25-year-old has contributed 15 goals and five assists this season. Like Salah, he likes to cut inside on to his left foot and his low centre of gravity makes him difficult to shake off the ball. And at his age, Mbeumo is yet to reach his prime. With his contract expiring next summer, Brentford may be forced into selling at the end of the season rather than risk losing the wide man on a free. He could prove the ideal fit as Liverpool’s next right winger.
