The attacker has been a huge revelation since making his debut appearance in the Premier League this season. He has been the standout performer for Leeds United so far, with three goals to his name in seven games in the English top flight.

Raphinha was linked with a switch to Anfield during the summer transfer window. Liverpool midfielder Fabinho couldn't hide his admiration for the Portuguese as he commented on the speculation linking the attacker with the Reds.

"Raphinha, since arriving in the Premier League, has been performing and standing out very well at Leeds," Fabinho was quoted as saying.
"Even in the summer transfer market there was some talk that he could go to Liverpool, I even expected that to happen, but he stayed at Leeds. Today, he is the best player in Leeds. Whenever a team is going to play against them, they know that Raphinha is the player who can cause the most danger," continued Fabinho.

#2 Ousmane Dembele

Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele is another player who could replace Mohamed Salah at Liverpool. In fact, reports have linked the Reds with a potential swoop for the winger over the last few months.

The Frenchman is one of the most talented young forwards in Europe at the moment. With his sheer pace, dribbling skills, creativity and goalscoring instincts, there's no doubt he's got what it takes to shine at Liverpool. The fact that he can play on either wing as well as behind the centre-forward would give Klopp more options.

Dembele has recorded 30 goals and 21 assists in 118 appearances for Barcelona since joining them in the summer of 2017. As per Transfermarkt, his market value stands at €50 million.


#1 Federico Chiesa

Federico Chiesa was a shining light in Juventus' attack last season, bagging an impressive tally of 15 goals and 11 assists across competitions. Thanks to his brilliant exploits with Juventus during the season, the Italian has become a top target for many big clubs across Europe.

There's no doubt Chiesa would be a decent replacement for Mohamed Salah on the right wing of Liverpool's attack. The Juventus forward is well-known for his ability to score and assist. He's also a hard worker, capable of playing across midfield and attack. That could help him prosper at Liverpool.
