Liverpool news: Ian Wright makes Mo Salah Player of the Season claim
LIVERPOOL star Mohamed Salah is the standout player of the season so far, according to Ian Wright.
Mohamed Salah has been outstanding for Liverpool this term
Salah, who joined Liverpool in a £36.9million deal from Roma over the summer, is the Premier League’s top scorer with 12 goals to his name.
While the Reds’ defence has been shaky, the Egypt international has helped strike fear into opposing teams.
And while acknowledging the talents of Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne and Chelsea winger Eden Hazard, Wright is in no doubt about the impact of Salah.
“De Bruyne is amazing and I love Eden [Hazard],” Wright told Sky Sports’ The Debate Show.
