There has been talk in recent days of Leroy Sane being eyed up as a potential Mohamed Salah replacement at Liverpool.

If Salah does go, which is likely because of his contract situation and other things considered, Liverpool have to look at who is the best right-sided player that provides 20 goals plus a season while creating goals for others.

You have to go and get them.

Young Ben Doak has got years in him and could be one for the future, but it has to be someone in their peak at 26 or 27, who has been there and done it.

Whoever it is will cost a lot because of the money we will receive for Mo.

Jurgen Klopp has got time to work out a solution and will have known this has been coming at some point.

Mo probably does want to finish his career in a Muslim country as the best Muslim player on the planet.

We just have to get the best deal for the club and make sure we find someone of a similar ilk, whatever it takes.

Any deal for Mo would cover that expense.

Sane is a really good player, who is unquestionably talented.

The only concern is whether he would score 20 plus goals a season.

He is a decent age, still only 27, but whether he could match Mo's stats is another thing.

To win the league against City now, you have to score 90 goals or more.

You have to think about that down the line, unless you've got a really strong defence - something we don't seem to have right now.

We need to score 90 plus goals to have a chance at the league.

When you get your forwards, you need to see who will get you the one goal in every two games.

Can Sane do that? I don't know.

Klopp has got time to scan the world and see who can fit the bill.

There is no name that immediately springs to mind in terms of a direct replacement for Salah.

There are some fantastic players out there, but it's about what works for the manager and the way he wants to play.

The worst thing is just thinking about life after Mo because he has just been unbelievable, we all know that.

Having said that, every player has a replacement and I'm thinking back to when Roger Hunt finished and not long after that Kevin Keegan came to Anfield.

Kevin then left and the same process repeated itself.

What Liverpool have to ensure is the player we are looking for is not under the radar - it has to be someone who is already an established force.

One of the best in the world has to be replaced by one of the best in the world, who is a bit younger.

If Mo does go, we have got someone worth a crazy amount of money and the Saudis are willing to pay it to make their club the greatest in the Middle East.

The benefits they will get from him, even without the football, is immense.
