Elliott backed to succeed Salah at Liverpool

Former Aston Villa striker Tony Cascarino can see Harvey Elliott stepping out of Mohamed Salah's shadow at Liverpool.

Cascarino expects Salah to leave Liverpool this summer.

He told talkSPORT: "Liverpool fans will be confident they can find a replacement.

“I've been really impressed with the way Harvey Elliott has played this year, he's not to Salah's level in terms of goals and numbers, but he's played really well when he's been called upon.

“Their recruitment has been exceptional and I'm sure they'll be able to find someone to replace Salah when he goes.

“I've said all along, you never want to keep players who think their future is elsewhere. I'm not saying that's the situation for Salah yet, but if he does, thank you very much for what you've done for Liverpool and we move on."
