• Mohammed Kudus has popped up on the radar of Liverpool
• The English giants see him as replacement for Mohamed Salah
• Salah could leave Liverpool for Saudi Arabia in the summer

English giants Liverpool are considering a move for Ghana and West Ham United midfielder Mohammed Kudus ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old has been earmarked as a replacement for Mohamed Salah, who has been on the radar of Saudi giants Al-Ittihad since last summer.

The Saudi Pro League side are preparing an offer that Liverpool can't resist in an attempt to persuade their talismanic forward to join them this summer.

According to Fichajes, the Saudi club who saw their earlier offer of €150 million rejected are set to make another big move while Liverpool set sights on Kudus.

With Jurgen Klopp set to leave at the end of the season, Salah could follow suit as the club rebuilds with the younger players around.

At 32, Salah is heading towards the twilight of his career and a move to Saudi seems ideal with the likes of Sadio Mane, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ivan Rakitic all in the Gulf.

Meanwhile, Kudus has been a sensation in his first season in England, starring for the Hammers across all competitions. He has netted 13 goals already for the club, per Transfermarkt.
