Liverpool legend Didi Hamann has faulted the Reds’ inability to sign former Crystal Palace midfielder Michael Olise in the summer.
Olise, who joined Bayern Munich, was highly favoured to make a move to Anfield.
Speaking with Flashscore, Hamann noted that Olise’s potential would have been the ideal replacement for Mohamed Salah.

“I’m very surprised no one picked him up in England, if anyone was to replace Mohamed Salah, it would be Michael Olise.
“He’s a brilliant player, he can score goals and create. Bayern won’t want to lose Olise, but I won’t be surprised if teams like Liverpool or Manchester United offer a big fee for him.”
Asked if Olise could be compared with former Bayern star Arjen Robben, Hamann added: “Michael Olise will need to stay for a few years to reach that level, but he does have the ability to become as good as Arjen Robben.
“He certainly has the ability.”
