Liverpool have been told to make Eberechi Eze their top transfer priority next summer after the England international surprisingly remained at Crystal Palace.
Glen Johnson thinks that if Mo Salah moves on at the end of his contract when this season concludes - with interest from a host of "exciting clubs" - Eze would be the ideal replacement for the Egyptian star.
Johnson is also confident that Federico Chiesa, will make big waves once he settles in at Anfield.
Johnson said.
“He’s been unstoppable in certain games and as long as he can do that more regularly, then he’d definitely get into Liverpool ’s team if that signing was to happen,”
“He’s one of those players that can be a nightmare to play against, so it all depends on whether he can do it every week because he doesn’t at the moment.
“If they can get him firing weekly, then I believe it would be a great signing.”
Palace admitted they were shocked by the lack of interest in him after he played a role in England’s run to the European Championship final.
Johnson continued:
“Even the club came out and said that they were surprised that there was limited interest in him.
“He’s the type of player that’s going to catch the eye of most of the top clubs so yes, I’m surprised there weren't more offers on the table to be honest.”
“You don’t want Mo to leave, but with Chiesa there already and if Eberechi Eze was also to come in next summer, then they’d both be very good options if Mo departs.”
