Your first news overview of the week includes a hint into potential future transfer plans both in and out of Anfield, along with plenty more.
Liverpool “admire” Bowen
Jarrod Bowen has emerged as a player that has caught the eye of Liverpool’s recruitment team.
Whether we like it or not, there will eventually come a point at which the club must plan for life without Mohamed Salah and the summer nonsense has caused fans to speculate about potential alternatives.
The Athletic have looked into the viability of a number of the reported options and listed the forward as a possibility.
Liverpool are said to “admire” the 26-year-old and it is thought that the club have been keeping an eye on the player for a “number of seasons.”
Bowen certainly wouldn’t represent a like-for-like replacement for the Egyptian King, but he could become an affordable option that would provide a welcome boost for the homegrown quota.
With his contract up in 2025, the manager could look to add the Englishman to the attacking options as one of a number of incomings if and when Salah eventually leaves.
