The future of Mohamed Salah at Liverpool remains up in the air.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold set to join Real Madrid this summer, supporters of the Reds will be slightly worried as the winger has been crucial to the Merseyside club currently sitting top of the Premier League.
Salah has produced 32 goals and 22 assists across 43 matches this season for Liverpool and whoever is tasked with succeeding the Egyptian star in the future has a tough job on their hands.
Many expect the winger to remain at Anfield next season, but should things not play out that way, Liverpool may already have a 19-year-old talent that can replace him.

Ben Doak has been at Liverpool since 2022 having joined the Reds from Celtic and the Scottish star is a player Jurgen Klopp trusted during his time at Anfield, as the youngster was used in 10 games by the German coach.

The winger was having a hugely impressive season with Middlesbrough up until the end of January.
Since then, Doak has been out with a thigh problem that has eventually required surgery, with the Scottish star currently back in Liverpool for rehabilitation and faces a race against time to play again this campaign.
The 19-year-old had produced three goals and seven assists across 24 Championship appearances for Middlesbrough up until then, and according to Northern Echo‘s Dominic Shaw, Doak would be eligible to feature in the Championship Play-Offs should Boro finish in the top six.
This would be a great experience for Doak as the opportunity to play in those huge games would stand to him should he take over from Salah in the future.
Salah leaving this summer would be a problem for the Premier League leaders as the Reds would need to go out and bring in a replacement, which would hamper the development of Doak further down the line.
Doak is an incredible talent and is certain to have a future at Liverpool.
