Following his brilliant performance in Liverpool’s comeback against Leicester City in the league, Arsenal former star Ian Wright compared Mohamed Salah to Barcelona’s legendary Lionel Messi.
Salah’s brace gave Liverpool a much needed win over Leicester City as the match ended 2-1 for the Reds. The young Pharaoh is enjoying the best season of his career so far since he has been involved in 22 goals in 21 premier league appearances for Liverpool since his move to the Anfield, scoring 17 goals and assisting five. He is one goal behind the Premier League’s top scorer Harry Kane.
“I’m not saying he is as good as who I am going to say but dare I say it, He reminds me of Lionel Messi, the scampering way he plays, he has a Messi vibe,” Wright said during his analysis of the game on Saturday comparing Salah to five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
Premier League’s all-time top scorer Alan Shearer also praised the Egyptian international saying that he is good in any position and can play anywhere across the frontline. “He can play on the left, the right or through the middle,” he said. “He has got such quick feet, the way he gets away from defenders, they know that once he is there they can’t touch him. You can’t go anywhere near him, the balance is superb.”
