Liverpool could need to sign a new right winger in the January transfer window should Mohamed Salah depart
Fulham’s Harry Wilson has been backed for a shock return to Liverpool. Right wing has become something of a problem position for the Reds amid Mohamed Salah’s public fallout with Arne Slot.
The Dutchman benched Salah following their 4-1 defeat to PSV in the Champions League and featured for just 45 minutes across the next three games. After the 3-3 draw with Leeds United, the Egyptian slammed the club for “throwing me under the bus” and as a result, was left out of the matchday squad to face Inter Milan.
While Slot sees no reason for Salah to leave, he could soon have big shoes to fill if they can’t settle their differences. Ex-Everton and Fulham star Radzinski reckons Liverpool already sold Salah’s replacement in Wilson, who has been plying his trade in London since 2022.

Speaking to ComeOn, the Polish star said: “Harry Wilson to Liverpool, why not? If he can perform this well for Fulham. Before Mohamed Salah became one of the greatest players in the Premier League, he had to move to a few other clubs as well.
“At Chelsea he was not really rated and he had to go to Italy only to come back to the Premier League to be exceptionally fantastic. Anything can happen. The sky is the limit.
“It’s all up to the individual himself and obviously the chemistry together with the manager at that moment and the way the team is playing.
“If you come to a team and you start playing a new formation and style, it’s going to be strange for your head. So you’re going to have to adapt to that as well. But, Wilson can do it.”
Wilson spent his youth career at Anfield and was at the club from 2014 until 2022. The Welsh forward made just two appearances for Liverpool, both in cup competitions, and spent the majority of his career at the club on loan elsewhere.
Since joining Fulham for £12million in 2022, the attacker has scored 29 goals and assisted 39 times. The Welshman has been in fine form for club and country this season.
Radzinski, meanwhile, also reckons people are too quick to judge the current state of Liverpool and claims the summer signings will come good eventually. He added: “It’s a very funny situation over at Liverpool, so it’s hard to judge from the outside.
“We don’t know what’s going on at the training ground. I think they have enough players. I think they’ve done, in my eyes, fantastic deals in the summer.
“I just don’t think the players who they brought are performing at the moment, but it probably has nothing to do with their personalities or whatever. It’s just sometimes when you come from a different competition, different teams, not every team suits every player. This is how it is.”
