"He could be a replacement for Salah"- Liverpool fans react to potential January transfer
Liverpool fans believe Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore could be a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah. The 25-year-old is considered to be one of the quickest, strongest and most skilled wingers in the Premier League.
According to El Nacional, Jurgen Klopp was keen to sign Adama Traore this summer, but the deal failed to materialise. The German will reportedly target the signing of the former Barcelona star in January as he looks to add depth to Liverpool's attack.
Salah is in top form this season, but is yet to sign a new contract with Liverpool. With the striker soon to turn 30, the Reds could be forced to plan for a future without him.
"Could be a replacement for Salah", said one Liverpool fan on Twitter about Traore.

Here are some of the other reactions:
@LFCTransferRoom @elnacionalcat That’s Mo gone if this happens.
@LivEchoLFC Traore is a must imo... Yeh he doesn't score many.. But his pace alone is a great addition..
@LFCTransferRoom @elnacionalcat @CharlieWebbLFC He’s a replacement for MoSalah
His end product is terrible and he's a one trick pony. HOWEVER, when then trick is performed to the best of this lads ability, good luck stopping it. If anyone can get that end product out of him it's Klopp, but, for the money Wolves would want it's a big risk. twitter.com/LivEchoLFC/sta…
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has developed into one of the best players in the world since joining the club from AS Roma in 2017. His performance against Manchester City last weekend once again reminded Premier League fans of his prowess.
Salah has scored an incredible 101 goals in just 152 appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool in his four seasons with the club. He also played a key role in their Champions League triumph in 2018-19, and Liverpool's first-ever Premier League triumph a year later.
Adama Traore, meanwhile, has scored just two goals, and provided three assists in his last 44 Premier League games. The winger has shown signs of becoming a top-quality player in the future. But he does not seem to possess the killer instinct and effectiveness in front of goal that a club of the Reds' stature requires.
Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah's departure for the Africa Cup of Nations could force Liverpool to sign Adama Traore
Liverpool stars Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah will join their respective nations for the Africa Cup of Nations midway through the season. Mane has scored four goals in seven games in the league, while Salah has netted six times in seven games.
Jurgen Klopp's side have beee heavily reliant on the goal-scoring exploits of Mane and Salah. The Reds failed to sign a forward in the summer. Considering their lack of depth in attack, they may look to sign an attacker in January when Salah and Mane would be away on international duty.
👀 | Adama Traore is in no position to turn down a move to Liverpool, where Jurgen Klopp is anticipating his arrival with open arms.

The Merseyside club have been linked with a move for Adama Traore on several occasions, and could look to sign him once more during the winter transfer window.
