John Barnes has questioned whether Jarrod Bowen would be the best like-for-like replacement for Mohamed Salah at Liverpool.
Salah's Anfield future remains up in the air as he is yet to agree an extension to his current contract that runs until the end of next season.
Bowen has been tipped as a potential successor to the Egyptian in Liverpool's attack as his sensational form at West Ham continues.
The 25-year-old has scored eight goals and registered eight assists in the Premier League this season – only Salah himself has directly contributed to more goals.
