Give Me Sport writer Ben Jacobs thinks West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen may step in for Mohamed Salah at Liverpool and replicate Declan Rice’s success story.
The journalist has also reported that the Reds may pursue the £75 million England international if they qualify for Europe’s elite club championship in the upcoming season. The 26-year-old forward would prefer to join a team that competes in the UEFA Champions League.
Al-Ittihad, a club based in Saudi Arabia, has shown a lot of interest in the Egyptian winger, making his future at Anfield questionable. This supports the assumption that a search for a suitable alternative is warranted. It will be difficult for Jurgen Klopp to find a replacement for the veteran Liverpool star, but he must make a choice fast.A lot of attention is being paid to West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen by Liverpool.

His exact words, as reported by Give Me Sport:
Because of their meticulous planning, Liverpool would have had identified potential Salah replacements before hearing of Saudi interest. As a result of Rice’s promotion to the Champions League, Bowen is likely to experience feelings of envy or ambition on the sidelines. He’s done a lot for West Ham, but he could go in the summer of 2019 if ties to Liverpool continue to strengthen.
Bowen is about to enter his prime years as a professional. The English superstar may be a good substitute for Salah, while some Liverpool fans would rather have someone younger.
A homegrown star who keeps getting better in the Premier League, he is an exciting prоspect. The attacker’s potential value to Liverpool lies in his play in high-pressure situations.
The Merseyside club coached by Klopp is an obvious and appealing option for the long-term development of the winger from the Hammers.
