Former Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant has urged the Anfield hierarchy to sign Michael Olise in a player-plus-cash deal. According to CaughtOffside, Pennant took to social media to demand that the Reds prioritise the winger as the definitive successor to Mohamed Salah.
Olise, who has been in scintillating form since his move to Bayern Munich, was the standout performer in the first half of Bayern’s Champions League semi-final against PSG. His 41st-minute stunner capped off a dominant display, where his vision and technical flair left the PSG defense in tatters.
Key Moments
Olise’s electric performance in the first half of Bayern Munich’s Champions League semi-final against PSG caught the attention of former Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant. Pennant, who took to social media to demand that the Reds prioritise Olise as the definitive successor to Mohamed Salah, praised the Frenchman’s vision and technical flair.
Pennant posted on X: ‘Liverpool go out and get MICHAEL OLISE at all costs, he is the real deal and would be an instant hit with the fans.’
Reaction
The call for Olise to join Liverpool has sparked a debate among fans and pundits alike. While some believe that the Frenchman has the potential to become a key player for the Reds, others argue that the transfer fee and potential departure of Cody Gakpo would be too costly.
Pennant’s demands for Olise to join Liverpool come as the club continues to search for a suitable replacement for Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian winger is set to leave the club this summer, and the Reds are under pressure to find a suitable replacement to fill the void.
