Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been told he should consider SELLING Mohamed Salah and replacing him with Kylian Mbappe or Jadon Sancho.

Salah, 27, has become a superstar at Anfield – scoring 89 goals in 137 games since joining the Reds in a £34million deal from Roma in 2017.

The Egyptian is Liverpool’s top scorer this season, with 14 goals, as they storm to their first Premier League title in 30 years – leading second-placed Man City by a whopping 22 points with 13 games remaining.

But despite Salah’s obvious influence on the side, former England striker Darren Bent reckons Liverpool could become even stronger without him.

Bent claims Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are more important to the Merseyside club than their fellow forward and reckons selling Salah and bringing in either Kylian Mbappe or Jadon Sancho could take them on to another level.

Liverpool have been linked with the Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund stars in the past year and would have to break the bank to land either player.

Bent told talkSPORT: “Listen, we know he [Salah] scores a lot of goals and he is a top, top player.

“Two Golden Boots, Player of the Season, Champions League winner, about to be a Premier League winner, the accolades are there.

“But when you look at his general play to say someone like Mane, I’d have to say Mane’s been better than him.

“He may score more goals than Mane, but Mane’s work-rate for the team, he’s unselfish, always looks for others first, he’ll get his fair share of goals. So you can’t sell Mane, he’s so important.

“Firmino, we know he doesn’t score that many goals, but he’s the glue, he links it all together. His hold-up play is arguably one of the best in the league. He brings players in, holds on to the ball, he’s fantastic.

“So you look at Salah and yes he does score all these goals, but is he really complimenting Mane and Firmino or is he looking for more goals?

“I’ve seen certain situations this season where he should pass it, but he’s shot, and you can see the frustration starting to build.

“It’s not about selling him and getting £100million and that’s it, but if you can replace him with an Mbappe or someone like a Jadon Sancho, I think it’s worth thinking about.”

Mbappe, a World Cup winner with France, has netted 22 times in 25 games in all competitions this season.

Meanwhile, Sancho continues to light up the Bundesliga with 12 goals and assists each in 18 appearances.
