Jamie Carragher Names Perfect Mohamed Salah Replacement Who Would ‘Fit the Bill’ for Liverpool
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has hinted that Bryan Mbeumo could be the ideal replacement for Mohamed Salah in the summer, as uncertainty surrounds the Egyptian’s ongoing contract saga.
Carragher has proposed that Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo might be the perfect successor to Salah, with discussions about the Liverpool star’s future continuing to unfold.
The Brentford forward has drawn attention after an impressive season in which he has scored 14 goals and contributed three assists. His form was highlighted once again when he converted a penalty in Brentford’s narrow 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Mbeumo’s performances have established him as a key player for Brentford under Thomas Frank. Even during Liverpool’s dramatic 2-0 win over Brentford earlier this month, his abilities were evident.
As Salah’s future at Liverpool remains unclear, Carragher praised Mbeumo’s talent during his appearance on Sky Sports.
“You feel with Brentford signings or Brighton because they’re ahead of the game, everyone is always a little bit, ‘what do they know that we missed?’
“You see them do well at those clubs then you think can they do a job for our clubs? They’re ahead of the game for bringing them in, the metrics and he’s certainly one of them.
“I think of my old club with the situation regarding Mohamed Salah, a left-footed player on the right side, who can fit the bill? He is someone whose name that always crops up because of his ability and the club he is at.
“The things they look at are probably similar to Liverpool. Huge fan of his, huge problem and he caused Liverpool huge problems last weekend.”
Arsenal and Manchester United have also been tipped to move for Mbeumo but Brentford boss Frank is confident he will stay with the club. The Bees value their prized asset at around $73million (£60million).
He said recently: “It would be that big a fee (to tempt a deal) that I can’t imagine the size of the fee. I’m not even focused on keeping the best players, I’m just expecting them to stay.”
