Arne Slot drops massive hint about Liverpool's Mo salah replacement
Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool has been in doubt for the majority of the last 18 months.
For most of last season it looked as though the Egyptian King could be leaving on a free, but a new deal signed in April extended his stay at Anfield.
This season the 33-year-old has fallen out of favour with Arne Slot, and a public clash between Salah and the club before Christmas has reignited rumours that his time in Merseyside could be coming to an end.
Interest from Saudi Arabia remains, and it does feel as though Liverpool’s talisman could finally leave this summer, but the club may already have a ready-made replacement lined up.
Arne Slot already knows who will replace Mo Salah
Several potential replacements have been linked with moves to Anfield, most with a very hefty price tag attached, but Slot has already dropped hints that he knows who will replace Salah this summer.

Kieran Morrison is one of the most exciting talents currently in the Reds’ academy, and just last week the 19-year-old was offered a new contract at the club.
The winger was also nominated for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award for January and has scored five goals in his last four appearances in the competition.
The Englishman’s performances even earned him a place on Slot’s bench when Liverpool travelled to Sunderland on Wednesday.
Morrison was an unused substitute, but the head coach clearly trusts him enough to feature him in the squad.
Wednesday marked the second time in four matches than Morrison has made the bench for Liverpool’s first-team, and in only seems a matter of time before the 19-year-old is given the opportunity to display his talents.
The academy talent made his senior debut early in the season in a much-rotated side that faced Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup, but he is yet to play in a full-strength Liverpool side.
If Morrison can work his way into Slot’s side before the end of the season, then he may well be given the opportunity to step up and fill Salah’s place in the squad should he depart, much like Rio Ngumoha has with Luis Diaz.
