Liverpool is closely monitoring Egyptian international Ibrahim Adel Ali Mohammed Hassan. The club is very keen on signing the winger, who is widely regarded as the 'new Mohamed Salah'. At 21, Adel is currently playing for Pyramids FC in Egypt's top flight, where he has scored 11 goals across 36 games since 2019. His performances have earned him a place in the national team, making four appearances since his debut last year.
The winger played a role in Egypt's second-place finish at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations and has extensive experience with the national youth teams. That said, Liverpool won't have an easy path to signing him, as they are competing with several other top-flight English clubs for the youngster's signature.
Among the interested parties are Arsenal, Brighton, Nottingham Forest, and Brentford. This interest comes at a time when Mohamed Salah continues to be a powerhouse for the Reds, having scored 160 goals in 263 matches since joining in 2017.
If Adel can replicate even half of Salah's legendary productivity at Anfield, the transfer would be a massive win. Despite Pyramids FC recently tying their star player down to a new long-term contract, a move to Jurgen Klopp's side could still happen as early as January.
Jordan Henderson has spoken highly of his England teammate Jude Bellingham, fueling rumors that the Borussia Dortmund midfielder could be headed to Anfield. At the same time, reports suggest a potential swap or separate deal, with Dortmund interested in bringing in Naby Keita once his current contract with Liverpool expires this summer.
Tomorrow, Liverpool hosts Brighton at Anfield in a crucial Premier League clash. Currently sitting in eighth place with only 9 points, the fans are hopeful for a turnaround in form. However, there are concerns regarding Diogo Jota, who missed training after being substituted during Portugal's Nations League match against Spain.
The 25-year-old forward had only recently regained fitness after a pre-season hamstring injury, making this latest setback a headache for Jurgen Klopp. This international break has proven difficult for many Liverpool players preparing for the upcoming 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
