Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endo has tipped one of his Japan team-mates to be the perfect replacement for Mohamed Salah at Liverpool.
Salah has one year remaining on his existing contract at Anfield and has previously been courted by Saudi Arabian sides keen to bring him to the Middle East.
The Egyptian was the subject of bids in excess of £200m last year only for Liverpool to reject the huge offers as they sought to keep one of the Premier League's best players in place.
Salah and Endo are two of the few senior players that were named in Liverpool's 28-man travelling squad for the pre-season tour of the United States that will see the Reds play Real Betis, Arsenal and Man United.
