Former Liverpool star John Barnes has claimed that West Ham United midfielder Mohammed Kudus could potentially replace Mohamed Salah at Anfield in the near future.

According to Barnes, the Ghanaian international is dynamic, and direct and plays similarly to Salah.

Salah, who joined Liverpool from AS Roma in 2017, is considered to be in the final years of his professional career.

The Egyptian international has reportedly been on several Saudi Arabian side’s wishlists for a while.

Speaking to BettingExpert, Barnes said: “Kudus was fantastic. He was sensational for West Ham last season. Even Mohammed Salah says he won’t be here in three years time so that could be a role that Kudus takes on.

“He’s young, he’s dynamic, he’s direct and he plays in a similar fashion to Mo.”
