Mohamed Salah 's exit was certainly the most high-profile of Liverpool's departures this summer.

The Egyptian King still had a year left on his contract but, after multiple fallings out with Arne Slot , he chose to call it quits and mutually agreed to terminate his deal with Liverpool.

Most people expected him to join a Saudi Pro League team but, in the end, he ended up making the switch to Trabzonspor.

On the face of things, this seemed like an extremely strange deal but, when you take into account how passionate their fanbase is and how well Salah can still perform , it's a match made in heaven.

However, for Liverpool, it left them in a bit of a pickle. Most fans expected them to sign a new right-winger and, while they did bring Bradley Barcola and Victor Munoz through the Anfield doors, neither of them are natural right-wingers.

This means that, until January at the earliest, Liverpool will always have one of their attackers out of position, which, for a team chasing the Premier League title, is far from ideal.

So, that's why it's good news that the Reds' perfect successor for Salah now wants to join them.

Yankuba Minteh was the most likely player for Liverpool to replace Mohamed Salah with.
