Liverpool can COMPLETE 'dream' transfer to keep Mohamed Salah at the club
Whilst Liverpool’s attacking options are deep, there is also an element of uncertainty surrounding them at the minute.
Mo Salah may be leaving the club at the end of the season, there is a carousel of replacement ideas for Darwin Nuñez and Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo are at odds for a starting role.

A new Egyptian?
Following on from a report about Liverpool's interest in Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Omar Marmoush, German outlet BILD are reporting that the Egyptian international has the long term goal of playing in the Premier League.
The report states that the attacker ‘still dreams’ of ‘joining top Premier League clubs like Liverpool or Arsenal’ who he was linked to previously over the summer.
This signing could have incredibly important implications for Mo Salah's future at the club. Whilst Saudi links are intensifying, bringing in a compatriot and valued teammate could be exactly the move needed to tempt Salah into staying on Merseyside.
The move would show Salah that the club are serious about accommodating him whilst also future-proofing their squad.
The pair partnered each other in rotating attacking positions as Egypt cantered to a 3-0 win over Cape Verde in qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations this month. Marmoush and Salah linked up to win the corner that led to Egypt's opening goal, before Marmoush extended their lead to two on the stroke of half-time.
The Frankfurt star is clearly emerging as a critical second option for the national side. With Salah weighing up his options, including the opportunity to link up with former partners-in-crime Sadio Mané or Roberto Firmino at seperate clubs in Saudi Arabia, Liverpool must do everything they can to entice the talisman to stay.
Marmoush would also be a welcome versatile option in attack for the club. With Dominik Szoboszlai still failing to nail down the advanced midfield position in new head coach Arne Slot’s system, Marmoush could be seen as a better future option in addition to convincing Salah to sign a new deal.
Marmoush has had an electric start to the season, with seven goals and five assists in Frankfurt’s opening eight games in all competitions.
