EPL: Mohamed Salah could be the best in world, feels boss Jurgen Klopp

Mohamed Salah

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes comparisons between Mohamed Salah and Barcelona's Lionel Messi are premature, but that the Egyptian is on his way to becoming the best player in the world. Salah scored four goals in a 5-0 thrashing of Watford on Saturday to take his tally for the season to 36 - the most goals ever scored by a Liverpool player in their debut season.

"Salah is on the way to being the best in the world," said Klopp. "I don't think Mo or anybody wants to be compared with Messi. He is the one who is doing what he's doing for what feels like 20 years or so."
