Steve Nicoli believes Victor Osimhen will be the ideal replacement for Mohamed Salah at Liverpool.
Nicol, who is a former Liverpool defender stated that he expects Salah to leave the Reds this summer or next.
Salah has strong interest from Saudi clubs with champions Al Ittihad reportedly tabling a €150m offer last summer.
Another top Saudi club, Al Hilal are also said to be interested in the forward.
