Liverpool could find a replacement for Mohamed Salah in Serie A. Fiorentina's 21-year-old winger Alieu Njie has attracted attention and has been compared to the former Liverpool star.
After Salah left for Trabzonspor last summer, Liverpool did not sign a like-for-like replacement for the Egyptian. The club were interested in Yankuba Minteh and Ismaila Sarr but decided against moves because of the high cost. They currently have four recognised left wingers in their squad, while 16-year-old Joshua Abe is their only specialist right winger.
Meanwhile, Salah has recorded 16 goal contributions in 16 matches for Trabzonspor.
Njie is considered a potential option to strengthen Liverpool's attack. The Fiorentina player has registered six goal contributions in his past six matches. TEAMtalk previously put him in the same bracket as Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande.
Njie's playing style is reminiscent of Salah's: he has plenty of pace and can score goals and create chances. The author believes the young winger could fit perfectly into Andoni Iraola's system.
Salah also played for Fiorentina before moving to Roma, from where he later joined Liverpool.
