Having struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League with Newcastle, Florian Thauvin has really found his feet in Ligue 1 with Marseille and has been outstanding this season.The Frenchman has netted 15 goals and added eight assists in 32 matches to cement his name as one of the best performers in the French top-flight this campaign.Finding a player who has composure in front of goal is crucial if Liverpool are to replace Salah, and Thauvin possesses that ability to find the net.Klopp will have to fight to secure his signature however, as AC Milan, Atletico Madrid and Inter have all shown interest in the forward.
