Liverpool may embark on a new era post-Jurgen Klopp by securing the services of a player whom the manager himself has hailed as his “favourite player”.

As the Reds face the prospect of a lucrative offer for Mohamed Salah from the Saudi Pro League, they find themselves considering alternatives to fill the potential void left by the Egyptian forward, who has just a year remaining on his contract.

Reports suggest that Liverpool is eyeing West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen as a possible replacement for Salah.

Bowen, 27, has enjoyed a stellar season under the guidance of David Moyes, notching 14 goals in 28 Premier League appearances, despite often being deployed out of position.

Klopp’s admiration for Bowen is evident, as he has previously lauded the Englishman as his “favourite player,” aside from his own squad members. The Liverpool manager’s praise for Bowen ahead of a Carabao Cup clash with West Ham in December indicates his appreciation for the player’s talents and development.

West Ham’s Michail Antonio has interpreted Klopp’s remarks as a subtle indication of interest in Bowen’s services for the future. However, Antonio remains confident in Bowen’s commitment to West Ham, citing the recent signing of a seven-year contract as evidence of his dedication to the club.

With Salah’s future uncertain and the summer transfer window looming, Liverpool’s pursuit of Bowen intensifies, with speculation mounting about a potential move for the versatile winger.
