Fresh Liverpool claim emerges on 20 y/o tipped to replace Salah

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp would struggle to keep his big-name stars happy if he succeeds in welcoming Arsenal ace Bukayo Saka to Anfield in the summer, according to Daily Star journalist Paul Brown.

Klopp added to his wealth of attacking talent by completing the £49million acquisition of Luis Diaz during the January transfer window, but it appears the German is already looking to strengthen his wide options even further in a matter of months.

According to ESPN, Liverpool are keeping tabs on Arsenal winger Saka ahead of potentially looking to prise him away from the Emirates Stadium at the end of the campaign.

The report suggests the Reds will pounce if the Gunners fail to book a Champions League spot for next season, but they could face competition from fellow Premier League title chasers Manchester City.

Arsenal are currently in the top four and boast as many as three games in hand over sides around them in the standings, meaning they are in the driving seat to qualify for Europe’s elite club competition.

Saka is approaching the final two years of his £33,000-per-week contract with the north Londoners, meaning Arsenal could be in a precarious position if they cannot persuade the 20-year-old to pen an extended deal.

However, it was revealed last month that Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is looking to hold negotiations over a new contract which would make Saka one of the highest-paid players at the Emirates Stadium as ‘his importance to the team is unquestionable’.
