Didi Hamann urges Liverpool to sign Arsenal star or Manchester United flop as potential replacement for Mo Salah

Didi Hamann has claimed that Liverpool should look to sign Bukayo Saka or Jadon Sancho as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah. He believes that no player can match the numbers of the Egyptian, but the players there are ways the Reds can replace him.

Speaking to Flashscore, Hamann claimed that Salah could be replaced by Saka at Liverpool. However, he believes that Sancho will also be a good option if the Englishman manages to find his Borussia form. He said:

"No one can replicate Mohamed Salah's numbers and his availability. If I had to pick another player to replace him with, Liverpool would have to go for Bukayo Saka. If Jadon Sancho can find the form he had at Borussia Dortmund, he could be an option to play on the right wing. In the short term, Liverpool have great forwards to fill in that spot too."

Mohamed Salah is in the final year of his contract at Liverpool and is yet to pen a new deal. The Egyptian has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, while Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are also said to be interested in the former Chelsea man.

Didi Hamann does not think Liverpool star will leave in January

Didi Hamann also spoke about Trent Alexander-Arnold and claimed that the Liverpool star would not leave the club for Real Madrid in January. The right-back is also in the final year of his contract and has not signed a new deal.

He told Flashscore:

"I don't see Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving in January, but if Real Madrid come calling it will be hard for him to reject them. More and more Englishmen are playing abroad now. You can't fault Alexander-Arnold if he does want to go. Jude Bellingham is potentially drawing him to the club, and the fact they got Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer shows they can do a similar move with Alexander-Arnold next summer."

"Trent Alexander-Arnold is a scouse Galactico. I've not seen an Englishman take a free kick like he does since David Beckham. His passing, technique and ability is a joy to watch. Most fans would say they've paid to watch an attacker like Michael Owen, Fernando Torres or someone like that, fans now pay to go watch Alexander-Arnold play from right back."

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been linked with a move to Real Madrid as the Spanish side look to sign a right-back. The Englishman has admitted that he would not discuss his contract status publically but has not penned a new deal.

Los Blancos are keen on signing a defender after Dani Carvajal was ruled out for the remainder of the season. The Spaniard suffered an ACL injury earlier this season and will be out for up to 10 months.
