Liverpool scouts Basel winger Asane Sow as potential replacement for Mo Salah

Liverpool is monitoring Basel winger Asane Sow following a quiet summer transfer window for the Premier League club. The 20-year-old Senegalese forward has recorded four goals and four assists in his first eight matches for the Swiss side. Liverpool previously failed to sign a right-winger during the summer, ending unsuccessful pursuits for Yan Diomande, Ibrahim Mbaye, Yankuba Minteh, and Ismaila Sarr due to financial or injury concerns. The club is now shifting its long-term focus toward younger talent under the direction of manager Andoni Iraola. While Liverpool opted against adding a replacement for Mo Salah this summer, the club may revisit the transfer market during the January window. Sow, who joined Basel from Pro Vercelli, is now regarded as a potential long-term successor to the former Liverpool star.
