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.

“The fact that Salah will leave, regardless of whether it will be this year or next, Osimhen? I think he would be fantastic for Liverpool,” Nicol told ESPN.
In midfield we have just signed Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai, (Wataru) Endo has proved incredible, you need someone who runs all day and gives it (the ball) to MacAllister and Szoboszlai.”
