Liverpool could therefore avoid negotiations with the Cherries and enter into direct negotiations with Semenyo and his representatives.<\/p>\n<p>The Reds will struggle to bring in better wingers midway through the season, but this suggests a move for Semenyo would be a realistic possibility if Salah leaves.<\/p>\n<p>Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola recently insisted that Semenyo is unfazed by rumors surrounding his future, saying: &#8220;Antoine is giving us a lot. I think he&#8217;s close to scoring and assisting and he&#8217;s not a number nine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s not a player we expect to score every game. I think he&#8217;s usually a very good threat winger for us and can continue to give us big numbers, but that&#8217;s not his main job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;He has to do a lot of work for the team. I think he&#8217;s still a threat. He&#8217;s trying to help us every game, but I don&#8217;t see any change in his attitude.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, former England striker Darren Bent believes that by bringing Semenyo to Anfield, Liverpool could sign their own Gareth Bale.<\/p>\n<p>He told talkSPORT: &#8220;He&#8217;s one of those rare players, I call them unstoppable, and Gareth Bale was like that too. When I talk about unstoppables, I&#8217;m talking about their attributes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When Bale started moving, you couldn&#8217;t stop him. It&#8217;s the same with Semenyo. Once he starts moving, he outruns people and glides. The good thing about him is that he can go in either direction. I think he has the whole package.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For a long time now, Liverpool have been able to rely on Salah on the right wing season after season, but don&#8217;t get me wrong, he&#8217;s one of the best players we&#8217;ve ever seen in this country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But the signs are that he could potentially be slowing down a little bit. Now all of a sudden you have to start dealing with both sides.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2143374\/Liverpool-Mohamed-Salah-replacement\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortunately, they have already considered the perfect candidate, Antoine Semenyo, who is believed to have emerged as a January target.
