Mo Salah PROTEGE now wants to follow him after Liverpool SCOUTING

Liverpool may need to think about their striking options for the future. 

With Darwin Nunez well off the pace and Diogo Jota struggling to hit form this season, the Reds may think about dipping into the transfer market come January to strengthen their attacking frontier. 

Now it has been revealed that one prolific striker from the Bundesliga is keen on a move to the Premier League.

Reds linked to Mo Salah's teammate

Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush is a man in demand right now and it’s clear to see why. The Egyptian striker bagged 17 goals in all competitions last season. Although none of the ‘big six’ made an approach, Nottingham Forest were eager to get his signature, but wouldn’t meet Frankfurt’s asking price. 

Liverpool, though, were reportedly watching Marmoush earlier this year. And with Liverpool’s strikers struggling to hit consistency, Arne Slot may feel a new signing could be necessary. 

Marmoush is of course teammates with Mohamed Salah. According to a report by TeamTalk, Omar wants to follow in the footsteps of the Egyptian King and play in the Premier League. 

He states, "I’m learning everything from Mohamed Salah on and off the pitch. It’s a great honour to play alongside one of the best players in the world."

“I always learn from him how to become a professional, both on and off the field. He’s like a big brother to me and the other young players. He talks to us about sleep, work ethic – everything. I constantly seek his advice and benefit from his vast experience in matches. Playing alongside him is a fantastic feeling.”

The relationship these two have is something that may attract the Frankfurt star to join the Reds. 

However, the report also suggests that Arsenal, Crystal Palace and West Ham are interested in the player. 

It may make more sense for the striker to join the Eagles with the future of Jean-Philippe Mateta in doubt, as well as Oliver Glasner actually being Marmoush’s former manager at Eintracht. 

The number 7 has already scored three goals and provided three assists in all competitions so far this season, so Liverpool will definitely continue to keep a close eye on his performances.
