Latest Reds news and more on our dedicated Facebook pageSpeaking ahead of Sunday's Merseyside derby against Everton, Slot said: "Last year we made quite a lot of signings, and that's why we traded that much. The Egyptian superstar announced he's leaving Anfield at the end of the season during the March international break.Replacing the absurd number of goals and assists that the 33-year-old has produced over almost a decade borders on the impossible, but one player has been earmarked as a suitable replacement, according to Reds legend John Aldridge.The 67-year-old - who scored 64 goals in 104 games for the club - believes West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen possesses the ability to succeed Salah, citing his Premier League experience and consistent production.

He would fit the bill whenever Mo was ready to go, and even now, you still get a couple of good years at least out of him."If West Ham stay up, then it would be hard to get him, and he's probably not what the owners look at, age-wise. For what's out there, if, hypothetically, we were to get him, he could get you 15 goals a season and a lot of assists.

But it might not fit the makeup of the club, sadly."Jarrod Bowen is a more solid option than [RB Leipzig star] Yan Diomande because he's used to the Premier League, he's used to British life. He's a lot older.
