Ghana star Mohammed Kudus among 5 players tipped to replace Salah at Liverpool

Ghana international, Mohammed Kudus is still linked with a possible move to Liverpool.

According to reports in England, the Black Stars talisman is one of five young talents who could be signed to take the place of the Egyptian when he departs the Premier League giants.

The other players include Rayan Cherki, Bryan Mbeumo, Omar Marmoush, and Antoine Semenyo.

Kudus: A Premier League Rising Star

West Ham midfielder Mohammed Kudus, 24, is making waves in the Premier League and is reportedly on Liverpool’s radar. With an £85 million release clause set to activate next summer, the Black Stars talisman is seen as a strong candidate to succeed Salah.

He has already showcased his ability to excel in similar roles, making him a top prospect for the Reds.

The other players:

1. Omar Marmoush – The 24-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt forward has been in red-hot form, tallying 14 goals and 10 assists in just 17 appearances this season. Valued at £33.4 million, the Egyptian international is seen as a natural replacement for Salah and could be a January target for Liverpool.
2. Bryan Mbeumo
   Brentford’s 25-year-old forward ranks third in the Premier League’s Golden Boot race, with eight goals this season. Known for his consistent performances, Mbeumo could be on Liverpool’s wishlist, though a January move seems unlikely.
3. Rayan Cherki
   The 20-year-old Lyon playmaker has drawn interest from several top clubs, including Liverpool. Valued at £25 million, Cherki’s contract runs until 2026, making him a potential January acquisition for the Reds.
4. Antoine Semenyo
   Bournemouth’s 23-year-old forward has shown promise, scoring four Premier League goals this season. Semenyo, who caught Liverpool’s eye during a match in September, could emerge as a long-term target for 2025.

A Strategic Succession Plan

As Liverpool considers life after Salah, the club is weighing its options carefully. Kudus, with his proven quality in England’s top flight and ability to adapt to Salah’s role, remains a standout choice.

Whether the Reds will make their move next summer remains to be seen, but the competition for Salah’s spot is heating up.
