Liverpool advised to target two 25-year-old forward players who have lit up Premier League this season as ex-Reds midfielder confident they'll accept being Mohamed Salah's back-up

<p>Former Liverpool player Don Hutchinson believes that Arne Slot's side must not limit their spending spree this summer, urging them to buy one of Bryan Mbeumo or Antoine Semenyo to deputise for Salah, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-mohamed-salah-staggering-new-salary-two-year-contract-extension-liverpool-man-city/bltb1acbdec09c225e2#cs6828e83de8e6cbcb" target="_blank">signed a two-year renewal recently</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Salah is set to turn 33 in June, which means that he won't be getting any younger. According to a report from <em>The Sun</em>, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mohamed-salah-new-contract-means-liverpool-search-forward-brentford-bryan-mbeumo-200m-spending-spree/blt731cdc99a460af95#cs47cd6f4b32748a4e" target="_blank">Liverpool are planning to sign Mbeumo this summer</a>, despite Salah extending his stay at Anfield. The report mentioned that the Brentford talisman would cost the Premier League champions around £50 million.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.goldenpanda8.com/en" target="_blank">goldenpanda.com</a>, Hutchinson said: "No, I think Liverpool are looking at him, like most prominent teams. I think they're looking at Bryan Mbeumo and Antoine Semenyo at Bournemouth.<br>"And he's only young, Mbeumo. Both of them are only 25, but these two guys have the potential to kick on. And also when you sign a player like Mbeumo or Semenyo, you know they're going to be patient. So it's not a hard sell to say, listen, you're going to be a squad player.&nbsp;</p><p>"You tell them, ‘I'm going to try and play you as much as possible, but we've got Mo Salah, so you're going to have to bide your time and be patient. You're not going to be an automatic starter.’<br>"And you can sell that to younger players. If you sign a first-class right-winger, they're not going to accept playing behind Mo Salah, and not going to accept sitting on the bench. It’s natural, it’s the way it is when you're at the top of your game.</p><p>"So I think those two, either one of them, I could see at Liverpool, but I could see a lot of clubs in for them."</p>

WHAT DON HUTCHINSON SAID

<p>Slot's troops are currently revelling in celebrations, having clinched their first league title since the pandemic-stricken 2019-20 season. They have two big games lined up; Liverpool will face Chelsea on Sunday, May 4, at Stamford Bridge, followed by a home outing against second-placed Arsenal on May 11.</p>
