Liverpool may need to start thinking about life after Mo Salah.
The Egyptian continues to be linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in the summer, and if that transfer does go ahead, the Merseyside club will need to sign a replacement.
If Salah does go, who could Liverpool get?
Well, there have been plenty of links to Jarrod Bowen over the past few months, but now, another Premier League winger has been suggested as a potential option.
Speaking on the Chasing Green Arrows YouTube channel, Dean Jones has claimed that Michael Olise could eventually be an option for Liverpool once Salah does go.

Jones shared his verdict on how Liverpool could replace Salah.
“Liverpool also want to consider what they do in the long-term, obviously with Salah there are doubts around him for next season and stuff, maybe they go and sign someone like Olise from Crystal Palace, but I think this is an opportunity for someone to take this and say look without Salah you don’t need to buy anyone, trust me and I’ll do it for you,” Jones said.
Different
Olise is a fantastic player, there’s no doubt about it, but it has to be said that he’s very different to Salah.
As we all know, Salah is a goal machine who thrives on getting in behind and getting shots off on that deadly left foot.
Meanwhile, Olise is much more of a wide playmaker who uses his skills to create space to service others rather than scoring goals himself.
Salah is a player that is almost impossible to replace, and if Liverpool do go for someone like Olise to replace the winger, they may have to change their entire style of play.
This seems to be a situation worth keeping an eye on as Salah continues to be linked away and Olise continues to improve.
