Liverpool targets Morgan Gibbs-White as potential Salah successor
Summary

Liverpool is reportedly considering Morgan Gibbs-White as a replacement for Mohamed Salah after an expected transfer for Diomande fell through. The club seeks to enhance its attacking midfield options, particularly with Gibbs-White's performance last season, where he scored 18 goals in all competitions. With the appointment of Oliver Glasner at Nottingham Forest, Liverpool may explore whether Gibbs-White's ambitions align with a move. Activating his possible release clause could be under consideration as they look for a strategic shift in their squad.
