Liverpool will have to face the impending problem of finding a replacement for their talismanic winger Mo Salah in the next summer as he will be in the final year of his contract.
The growing interest from Saudi Arabia is undeniable and the Egyptian may leave the Reds next summer for them to able to cash in on him.
Finding a replacement for Salah may be a near-impossible task but one Liverpool will have to do to stay competitive. There are a number of names going around but Moussa Diaby is one that some fans believe shows real promise.
Diaby is a PSG academy product who spent the last four years at Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.
The Frenchman scored 49 goals and got 48 assists during his 179 appearances for them and a lot of Liverpool fans believe he is the best possible replacement for Salah.
Lfcvision: "Diaby is ice cold man He’s the perfect Salah replacement imo."
BlueChip: "One thing I’ll say about Diaby is, he’s hitting similar numbers to what Salah was producing at Roma/Fiorentina (loan), before he exploded at Liverpool. Diaby for me is the like for like replacement, if and when Salah decides to leave.
"Villa have got a player, that should’ve been the “succession” plan, for life after Salah. Quality player. Could easily score 15+ in this villa team this season."
Diaby has got off to a flying start at his new club Aston Villa and has 2 goals and an assists in just his first three appearances already.
Here's how he helped Villa defeat Burnley this past weekend:
