Liverpool’s recruitment team is already planning for the future — and the message from Anfield is clear:
the search for Mohamed Salah’s long-term replacement has officially begun.
According to reliable sources, Brighton & Hove Albion winger Yankuba Minteh has emerged as a prime target for Liverpool. The young sensation has impressed scouts with his explosive pace, fearless dribbling, and attacking instinct — qualities that mirror a young Salah in his prime.
However, landing the Gambian prodigy will be anything but easy. Reports indicate that Brighton will demand a fee exceeding £100 million, recognizing the winger’s skyrocketing potential and the growing interest from top European clubs.

LIVERPOOL’S STRATEGIC MOVE
The Reds’ hierarchy understands that Salah — now in his thirties — won’t lead the frontline forever. His contract situation and the growing interest from Saudi clubs have accelerated Liverpool’s need to identify a long-term successor who can carry the torch when the Egyptian King eventually departs.
Sporting Director Richard Hughes and the club’s scouting department have reportedly been tracking Minteh’s progress since his breakout performances at Feyenoord and Brighton, with regular updates being sent to the Anfield board.
A source close to the club revealed:
> “Liverpool aren’t rushing the decision, but they know Salah’s era is approaching its final chapters. Minteh is one of the few young players who combines raw pace, confidence, and finishing instincts reminiscent of Mo in his early days.”

WHO IS YANKUBA MINTEH?
At just 20 years old, Minteh has already become one of the Premier League’s most exciting young wingers. Known for his relentless energy, daring one-on-one ability, and knack for creating chances, the Gambian star has quickly established himself as a fan favorite at Brighton.
Analysts describe his game as a blend of direct power and technical flair, with shades of Sadio Mané’s determination and Salah’s lethal edge.
If Liverpool do make a move, Minteh would not only represent a tactical fit but also a symbolic one — continuing the club’s proud tradition of fast, fearless African wingers lighting up Anfield.

A £100M GAMBLE OR A FUTURE STAR?
While the £100 million price tag might raise eyebrows, Liverpool’s transfer history shows a willingness to invest heavily in long-term assets — especially players who fit their attacking DNA.
Minteh’s youth, combined with his adaptability and potential resale value, makes him an ideal project for the next era under Arne Slot — or possibly, another future Liverpool manager should changes arise.
With months left in the season, Liverpool will closely monitor Minteh’s form before deciding whether to formalize their interest in the summer window.

THE FUTURE BEYOND SALAH
As Anfield continues to dream of new glories, the thought of life without Salah remains bittersweet. Yet, Liverpool’s ambition to find the next superstar is a reminder that the club’s legacy doesn’t rest on one player — it evolves.
And if Yankuba Minteh continues his rise, the next Anfield anthem may just belong to him.
