How Sadio Mane helped new Man City star Jeremy Doku suffocate Liverpool and anger Jurgen Klopp
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been told he can repeat Mohamed Salah’s feat by bringing in a new striker and turning him into a golem machine. And the German, who is desperate to keep hold of Salah amid Saudi interest, has been named as seven players who could make a breakthrough at Anfield under his leadership.
Liverpool signed Salah from Roma in 2017 after agreeing a £34m fee to secure the Egypt international’s services. Salah scored just 15 league goals during his last campaign in Italy, compared to 14 last season.
ButKlopp’s impact on Salah has proved revolutionary, with the star hitting 32 Premier League strikes in his first season in England. The forward has been prolific in front of goal for his current employers over the last six years, scoring an incredible 188 goals for the club.
Liverpool rejected Al-Ittihad’s £150million bid for Salah last week after the Saudi club made a surprise bid to pry the 31-year-old away from Anfield. But Saudi Arabia’s transfer window doesn’t close until Friday, meaning Klopp could still lose Salah. But former Liverpool midfielder Don Hutchison believes the player can be traded for a new striker on Merseyside.

“M Salah scored 6 at F,Tina (Fiorentina), 14 and 15 at Roma,” wrote Hutchison on J Klopp made Salah a 25 goalkeeper. There is no reason why J Klopp can’t do the same with [Rafael] Leao, [Federico] Chiesa, [Bukayo] Saka, [Jarrod] Bowen, [Kingsley] Coman, [Leroy] ] Sane etc etc. Or even play [Luis] Diaz on the right, [Darwin] Nunez or [Diogo] Jota
And when one X-user threw Napoli ace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s name into the mix, Hutchison added: “Great shout.”

Liverpool have had no problems finding the back of the net this season, scoring nine goals in their opening four games. On Sunday, Salah scored his side’s second goal in a 3-0 win over Aston Villa, also making his name in the Reds’ 3-1 win over Bournemouth.
Liverpool also faced Newcastle last month, winning the match 2-1 and drawing 1-1 with Chelsea in the opening weekend. “He played the best game – Mo had to work very hard and he did,” said Klopp after Sunday’s clash against the Villans. – I never had and still do not doubt his future, his commitment to this club.
“Believe me, you can’t imagine how much noise the whole world makes and how calm we are with it. He is our player, he wants to play here and that’s it.”
