Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has paid a glowing tribute to record-breaker Mohamed Salah.

By scoring in their Europa League in against Toulouse, Salah overtook Thierry Henry with the most goals from a Premier League player in major European competition.

Klopp said, "He just enjoys the group. I think that is an obvious thing. If you saw him on the bench he wants to play always. But he enjoyed watching the other boys as well and then coming on, scoring a goal and stuff like this.

"I am really happy for him. He is growing with the role he has for us and in football maybe in general, to stay on top level it's nice to enjoy the moment and then go again and that is obviously what he is doing.

"It was a really good goal. I didn't know about the record and maybe he would break a few more records if I was into that because maybe I left him out when he could have broken a record but it was not intentional.

"He's such a good player and we appreciate him and everyone will appreciate him even more after his career because you will say 'wow, we saw something really special'."

He also said: "The young Mo was a super fast player. From the first day he had to do different things, he adapted extremely well, but the playmaker in that role was probably Bobby [Firmino] setting things up.

"You don't need two players who are deeper because you need players in the box and players to bring the ball over the line.

"Now it's slightly different, especially with Darwin [Nunez] when he is playing. We have another speed player up there so that changed Mo's position definitely.

"He is smart enough to adapt to all these different things. It is a massive development since he arrived, but he was in all phases world-class."

Klopp also insisted: "Off the pitch he behaves like a grown up man but besides that he is just still a young player.

"He's top fit, if we would really scan him the majority of the bones are probably 19 or 20 because he keeps himself in such a good shape.

"It's with game understanding, that's what we try to give young players. They all know an awful lot about football when they finish their career at 35 but the earlier you get this information, the more useful they are.

"With Mo that is clear, he understands the spaces much better, he knows how players react on him and if he cannot score he can still be a threat for us. That is really super important.

"The Everton game will not go down in history with performance, but scoring two goals is massive. In other games playing much better but not scoring, being constantly a threat is as important because that really opens up spaces for all the other boys.

"I cannot compare Mo to other 30-odd-year-old players because I don't think biologically he is."
