Klopp: Mohamed Salah is the best player in the world

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp has warned his rivals in the English Premier League that the Egyptian star Mohamed Salah still has a lot to do.

Salah scored for the eighth time in a row in all competitions and also made a goal for his Senegalese colleague, Sadio Mane, who opened the scoring during Liverpool's landslide victory over Watford with five goals without a response yesterday, Saturday.

"He is a professional of a unique type, he loves training, the physical part of it, the tactical part of it, and he is a professional of a unique type," Klopp said on Sunday.

"I think he's been playing at this level for a while, of course he's developing and he's at an age where he can continue to improve," Klopp added.

"The first goal he made for Sadio came from an amazing pass... He does such things in training as well. Our little problem is that we don't have much time for training, so we usually recover when we don't participate in matches, but the boys improve their way of playing themselves."

Salah is considered among the nominees for the award for the best player in the world, along with the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, the Argentine Lionel Messi and the Polish Robert Lewandowski, but Klopp believes that Salah is the best player in the world currently.

"The continuity he offers people may have just started to see, but it has always been there," Klopp was quoted by British news agency BA Media as saying.

He stressed, "He is among the top five players in the world since he came to Liverpool and at the moment he is the best, we all know that."
