Liverpool boss Klopp: Salah is absolutely exceptional player

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has heaped the highest of praise on Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian winger has expanded on his outstanding tally of goals and assists in recent matches.

Salah, who is being linked with a move away from Anfield to the Saudi Pro League, ranks near the top of the players that Klopp has coached in his career.

The German told reporters: “Right up there. That's 100 per cent. A player with his numbers I'm not sure I will ever coach again.

“It's just the way it is. His whole development from the first talks we had to the talks we have now, as a man, is an incredible and very impressive development and growth – and as a player as well.

“Absolutely exceptional player, all-time great. No shadow of a doubt. I was blessed to have a few good ones, to be honest, but he is right up there and the numbers are super-special."
