Mohamed Salah’s impending exit has triggered a rush within Anfield, since he is the rhythmic heartbeat of the Reds’ frontline. Despite the potential doom, West Ham United’s Jarrod Bowen stands out.
Bowen: An Emerging Star
Bowen’s recent success has set the stage ablaze as he quickly carves a niche for himself in the Premier League. Only three games into the current season, and he’s already celebrated two goals and an assist. Operating predominantly from the right wing, rumours at Anfield suggest that Jurgen Klopp sees the Englishman as a viable, albeit temporary, heir to Salah’s crown. Bowen, according to Football Transfers, is definitely on Liverpool’s radar.
Salah’s Glorious Legacy
Salah’s legacy at Liverpool is not to be underestimated. With 187 goals in 307 appearances, he is firmly entrenched in the pantheon of Anfield greats. However, recent indications indicate that the sands of time may be shifting. CBS has announced a €150 million deal for the Egyptian maestro from Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Arabia Pro League.
Though the initial investment is guaranteed at €100 million, an additional €50 million is available as future add-ons. The significance of this offer is heightened by the wage package, which is comparable to that of worldwide superstars like as Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo. Surprisingly, both of these legends have recently joined the Pro League.
While the club remains steadfast in their refusal to let go of their legend, especially with the transfer window closing soon, it is worth remembering the recent departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to the same league. Allowing Salah to leave without a big name in return may not go down well with the Kop faithful.
Bowen’s West Ham Adventure
The West Ham winger isn’t just a passing fad. 161 games, 42 goals, and scoring streaks of 13 and 18 goals in consecutive seasons attest to his skill. Furthermore, his contract with the Hammers expires in 2025, and he is valued at €47.8 million according to FootballTransfers’ Expected Transfer Value model.
Liverpool’s attempt to sustain their attacking vigour is intense in these uncertain times. Only time will tell whether Bowen is the solution to the Salah issue.
