The former Liverpool captain discussed how the club will look to find a substitute for Mohamed Salah's goals and assists, but does not think that will come from one playerSteven Gerrard has discussed how Liverpool will replace Mohamed Salah in the summer window(Image: YouTube/The Overlap)Steven Gerrard has complete confidence in Liverpool’s recruitment team that it will be able to identify a replacement for Mohamed Salah, but feels it may not be a like-for-like substitution.Salah confirmed two weeks ago that he is set to leave the Reds at the end of the season, with the Reds in need of attacking options heading into the summer. Salah has contributed a remarkable 255 goals during his time at the club, and finding a replacement for those returns will be a driving factor ahead of the summer window.But the Egyptian has also become a reliable creator of goals in recent years, with 23 plundered last season alone.READ MORE: Steven Gerrard 'worried' Arne Slot will lose Liverpool job as 'key' game namedREAD MORE: Steven Gerrard shares feelings of every Liverpool fan about Mohamed Salah - 'Sadness'Gerrard said finding an alternative source of goals and assists will be key for Liverpool ahead of the window, but does not think that will necessarily come from one player.The former captain feels Liverpool will look for a more creative solution, and cited how Luis Diaz’s replacement of Sadio Mane was not a straight change.“I think the concern is if you're trying to replace Salah, in terms of like-for-like, I think there are very few out there that you can go and grab,” the 45-year-old told talkSPORT.Salah has enjoyed an incredible Liverpool career(Image: Getty Images)“[Michael] Olise would be one, I would say, but I don't think he would be available.

But from experience, being around Liverpool as a player and also since I've left, Liverpool's recruitment team will have different options, and that doesn't necessarily mean they'll look for a like-for-like.“When we had to replace Mane, for example, we went for Diaz, who's slightly different, if you'd like."Or when [Luis] Suarez has left, they've had different types of options to try and replace the player.“But Liverpool have a fantastic record of replacing top players that have gone before, so I've got every confidence in the recruitment point of view that they'll have different types of options.“Not necessarily a like-for-like, but one thing is for certain - they have to try and replace some kind of his goal involvement, in terms of goals and assists, which is extremely difficult because he's been incredible for Liverpool for many years.”One solution suggested in recent weeks is Liverpool altering its formation to maximize the impact of Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak.“There is not a lot talked about this, but it is 88 minutes that Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz were together on the pitch together,” Arne Slot said last week.“So let’s first find out and work out how that works together and that can give us so much more. It is never one player who can replace Mo.”
