Liverpool news: Mohamed Salah will prove he’s a smashing buy - John Aldridge
JOHN ALDRIDGE has lavished praise on Liverpool summer signing Mohamed Salah.
Mohamed Salah has made a fine start to his Liverpool career
Jurgen Klopp spent £36.9million to bring Salah to Anfield from Roma in the summer.
The Egyptian has settled in quickly at Anfield and has three Premier League goals from five matches.
And Aldridge is confident that he could prove to be an Anfield hero.
“He’s going to be a smashing buy for what we got him for,” Aldridge told the Liverpool Echo.
“He doesn’t shirk any responsibilities and gives you everything.

“He got the goal but everyone knows defensively it’s not right.”
Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum meanwhile, has also been impressed with Salah’s start.
“He brings] a lot of pace and speed! He is technical,” he told the club's official website.
“He is not only a guy who scores goals but is also a team player, trying to defend with the team and trying to let other players score.

“He's a great signing for Liverpool and he is also a good person.
“He has settled in really quick because he is a person who socialises with other players and loves to speak with other players, which makes it easier for him and for us to accept him.”
Liverpool travel to face Leicester in the Carabao Cup tonight (7.45pm).
