Salah is one of the best players in the history of the Premier League
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand believes Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah is one of the best players in Premier League history.
Salah scored a goal and led Liverpool to victory over Leipzig with two unanswered goals in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
"Salah always demonstrates that he set very high standards for himself, and that he must maintain them."
he added:
"It is not just about one or two seasons to describe a player as a big star, but rather about maintaining his high level over the course of 3, 4 or 5 seasons, and Salah does that."
Complete:
"Salah will become one of the best players in the history of the Premier League, not only because he is a top scorer, but because he is presenting these wonderful levels."
The Egyptian international joined Liverpool from Rome in the summer of 2017, and in his first season, he scored 44 goals in 52 games, and he scored more than 20 goals each season.
Salah raised his goal tally this season to 24 goals, 17 in the league as a scorer for the competition, 3 in the England Cup and 4 in the Champions League, to exceed the number of his goals last season after scoring 23 goals in 48 games.
The former Basel player became the second most scored player this season in all competitions among the players of the five major leagues, with 24 goals.
Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski tops this list with 30 goals.
Salah strengthened his position as Liverpool's top scorer in the Champions League and scored his 24th goal.
