Jurgen Klopp admittedly believes that forward Mohamed Salah is on his way to being compared to the likes of Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.
Speaking at a press conference following their 5-0 demolition of Watford, the tactician said, “I think Mo is on the way. I don't think Mo or anybody else wants to be compared with Lionel Messi - he is the one who has been doing what he's been doing for what feels like 20 years or so.”
The German continued, “The last player I know who had the same influence on a team performance was Diego Maradona. But Mo is in a fantastic way, that's for sure. As it always is in life, if you have to have the skills you have to show that constantly and consistently, and he is very good. He helps us a lot.”
Salah has already made history by becoming the only Liverpool player to score 36 goals across all competitions in his debut season for the club. The Egyptian also leads the race for the coveted Golden Boot trophy with an impressive 28 Premier League goals in 28 starts. The marksman is undoubtedly destined for greatness.
