Liverpool are yet to agree a new deal with Mohamed Salah but that has not stopped the Egyptian forward from scoring for fun.
Salah has helped Liverpool gain momentum in the title race with the Reds sitting top of the Premier League standings. However, there are claims he could be heading for an exit at the end of the season.
Despite having 13 goals and eight assists in 14 Premier League matches this season, Salah is yet to sign a new contract with clubs such as PSG and Bayern Munich monitoring his situation.
With Salah’s contract situation not showing glimpse of reaching a conclusion, Liverpool have been urged to go for a suitable replacement.
talkSPORT pundits Jason Cundy and Jamie O’Hara has named a Premier League attacker who could be the ideal replacement of Salah at Anfield.
Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, who has scored nine goals in 15 Premier League matches this season, have been tipped to replace Salah at Anfield if the Egyptian leaves the Premier League giants.

Cundy has claimed Mbuemo is like a “mini Salah” and would be an ideal signing for Arne Slot’s side.
“I think, when you look at what might happen at Liverpool with Salah, I’m looking at Mbeumo and what he’s capable of,” Cundy said on talkSPORT, as reported by TBR Football.
“He’s a little mini Salah off that right hand side, [cutting in onto] his left foot.
“He has got years [left at the top level]. He has got years.”
“I’d much rather have Wissa and Mbeumo on my team [than anyone at Newcastle],” O’Hara added.
“They’re unbelievable.
“If [Brentford finish] outside of Europe come the end of the season, Mbeumo and Wissa are going to be top property.”
Salah’s form and quality this season have shown that the Egyptian remains a valuable asset for the Reds. While it’s important Liverpool their account, it is ideal Salah is offered a new two years deal.
