LIVERPOOL NOW WANT £80,000-A-WEEK WEST HAM WINGER, KLOPP LOVES HIM

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are now being linked with West Ham United winger Jarrod Bowen.

According to Football Transfers, Liverpool are interested in signing Jarrod Bowen from Premier League rivals West Ham United in the summer transfer window.

The report has claimed that Liverpool are looking at Bowen as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah.

Al Ittihad are reportedly interested in signing Egyptian forward Salah from Liverpool in the final days of the summer transfer window.

So, if Liverpool do lose Salah this week, then the Merseyside club plan to make a move for Bowen.

Football Transfers have reported that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is a big fan of the 26-year-old, who can also operate as an attacking midfielder.

Klopp reportedly believes that that the £80,000-a-week (SalarySport) winger “could represent an ideal replacement for Salah in the short-term”.

It is really hard to see West Ham sell one of their best and most important players so late in the window.

West Ham are a big and established club in the Premier League who are not just going to sell any of their players if they do not have to and if they do not want to.

Bowen has scored two goals and given one assist in three Premier League matches for the Hammers this season.

The winger scored six goals and gave five assists in 36 Premier League starts for West Ham last season.

Bowen has made 135 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

The 26-year-old has scored 29 goals and given 25 assists in those games.

‘I’m hearing’: Reporter says he’s being told £35m Liverpool player could be about to leave

Liverpool have already lost Fabinho and Jordan Henderson to Saudi Arabian clubs this summer, and now, they could be about to lose another star player to the middle-east.

Indeed, Mohamed Salah has been strongly linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, and while many have been quick to dismiss these rumours, there’s often no smoke without fire.

There are a number of conflicting rumours around this story, and now, former Sky Sports reporter and current BeIN Sports Anchor, Richard Keys, has weighed in on this situation.

After so many years in the game and plenty of time in the middle-east, Keys likely has plenty of contacts around both Liverpool and Saudi Arabia, and he’s stated on social media that he’s led to believe that this deal to take the £35m attacker away from Anfield is very much on.

Of course, as with any story, you have to take this with a pinch of salt, but it has to be said that Salah to Saudi is a rumour that is gathering momentum.

Liverpool do hold all the cards in this situation, but as we’ve already seen so many times this summer, everybody has a price, and if the Saudis do come in with a massive money offer for the Egyptian, this could be a deal that ultimately goes ahead.

Of course, this would be a massive blow for Liverpool as Salah is undoubtedly one of their most important players, but the huge cash windfall combined with the money leftover from the failed Moises Caicedo bid earlier this summer would mean that the Reds have a huge pot of cash to go and sign a replacement of the highest calibre.

Replacing Salah will never be easy, but, at the same time, cashing in on a player in his 30s and spending massively on a younger model may not be the worst idea from a business perspective.
