In a recent discussion, former Liverpool hero Emile Heskey mentioned that U.S. international Christian Pulisic could potentially replace Mohamed Salah at Anfield. With substantial experience in the Premier League from his time at Chelsea and his impressive performances in Serie A with AC Milan, Pulisic is seen as a valuable asset for Liverpool, who may need a new winger in the wake of potential changes related to Salah’s future.

Salah’s Transfer Situation

Mohamed Salah is currently under contract with Liverpool until the summer of 2027 but has expressed some frustration this season. He hasn’t scored in the Premier League since November 1, leading to speculation regarding his departure, possibly to the Saudi Pro League or MLS.

Pulisic in the Mix?

Heskey commented on Pulisic’s capabilities, believing that “Captain America” could offer a unique dynamic to Arne Slot’s squad. He stated, “I actually quite like Christian Pulisic. He is very direct… I thought he gave defences problems.”

Heskey’s Views on Replacements

Heskey underscored the difficulty of replacing someone like Salah. He emphasized the need for Liverpool to explore different options if they move away from relying on high and wide wingers. In particular, he mentioned Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from PSG and Jarrod Bowen from West Ham as alternative targets. “If you’re talking about replacing Mohamed Salah, you’ve got to look at something different because you can’t replace Mo Salah.”

Pulisic’s future remains uncertain, but fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Liverpool may reshape their attack in the coming months.
