Liverpool eye 19-year-old Belgian sensation as Mohamed Salah replacement: Reports

Liverpool have set their sights on Ajax youngster Mika Godts as they look to secure a replacement for Mohamed Salah, as per reports. The Reds are in the market for a potential replacement for their superstar forward, who is in the final months of his contract at the club.

Mohamed Salah has been in devastating form for Liverpool this season, leading the Premier League in goals and assists while helping the Reds comfortably sit at the summit of the standings. The 32-year-old forward has hinted at an exit from the Premier League giants, with his contract due to expire in June 2025.

Fichajes.net reports that the Reds have identified Belgian teenager Godts as an option to replace the Egyptian forward at the club. The 19-year-old has shown devastating pace for Ajax this season, with his dribbling ability and close control also making him an impressive prospect.

Arne Slot has solid connections in his native Netherlands, and news of Godts' exploits and potential have reached him in Anfield. The youngster left Jong Genk to join Jong Ajax in 2023 and has quickly risen through the ranks with the Dutch giants to become a key player for their senior side.

Mika Godts has contributed eight goals and six assists in 35 appearances across all competitions for Francesco Farioli's Ajax this season. The youngster has drawn comparisons to compatriot and former Chelsea star Eden Hazard with his playing style and is expected to move to a bigger club soon.
