Liverpool<\/a> icon Steven Gerrard has expressed doubts over Jarrod Bowen replacing Mohamed Salah<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Reds are gearing up for the emotional farewell for the Egyptian after a record-breaking nine years at Anfield<\/a>. This week, Salah confirmed that he will be leaving Liverpool in the summer<\/a> after reaching a mutual agreement with the club’s hierarchy.<\/p>\n Arne Slot and the figureheads on Merseyside face a decision over replacing the 33-year-old, who turned out one of the best individual performances last season to inspire Liverpool to Premier League<\/a> title success. The Reds are being linked with a host of names, Yan Diomande, Francisco Concei\u00e7\u00e3o and Michael Olise to name a few.<\/p>\n Some names in England’s top-flight have also been touted, too, including Bowen, but the former Reds captain has raised uncertainty about his credentials to follow in Salah’s footsteps.<\/p>\n FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE! All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo’s dedicated LFC Facebook page<\/a><\/p>\n He said: “I really like Bowen and think he is a top player but I am not sure he is Salah\u2019s level to replace him.<\/p>\n “Liverpool will probably look for more one v one merchants who can go on the outside. At times this season, certainly when they had that spell when they were quite inconsistent, they were too predictable on the sides.<\/p>\n “And the way this manager [Arne Slot] wants to play is work it side to side to set the one v ones up. They have missed [Luis] Diaz a lot. I would say we need to address the sides of the pitch.”<\/p>\n Get 25% off Mo Salah printed Liverpool kits<\/p>\n This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

Salah 11’ printing.<\/p>\n Bowen is a key player for West Ham United and his form has earned him a place in the England squad, with the prospect of joining the Three Lions in North America for this summer’s World Cup.<\/p>\n With four years remaining on his current contract, he currently finds himself leading West Ham’s charge to avoid relegation.<\/p>\n Throughout his career in East London, he has 84 goals and 58 assists in all competitions. But Jamie Carragher<\/a> also raised doubts over whether Bowen could emulate the three-time PFA Player of the Year at Anfield.<\/p>\n \u201cNo (I cannot see Bowen replacing Salah),” said the former Liverpool defender.<\/p>\n![\"Content](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0_Untitledjpeg.jpg\"\/)
