Ally McCoist is convinced Mohamed Salah belongs in the conversation with the Premier League’s finest, ranking him alongside legends like Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp.
The Liverpool forward has been in sensational form, racking up 25 goals and 16 assists in just 27 games under new boss Arne Slot. His dominance has reignited debates over his place in the league’s history, and McCoist made his stance clear during an appearance on talkSPORT.
Former coaches and pundits have also stated that he needs to be added to the Ballon d’Or conversation.
“Magnificent, that’s the only word to describe his performance yesterday. His performances…he has been, without doubt, one of the elite players to have played in the league of all time,” he said.
“He honestly deserves to be up there and mentioned with your likes of your Henrys, Bergkamps, all those kind of guys.
“I genuinely do. I think he’s a phenomenal talent.
“It was amazing, looking at him at the start of the season, incredibly I thought his body shape looked stronger and leaner and fitter.
“He was never carrying anything at all, but it looked as if he’d done a bit of extra work in the gym, he looks absolutely amazing.”
