Liverpool legend Ian Rush voices huge praise for the high-flying Mohamed Salah who has enjoyed a stellar start to the new campaign.
The Egypt international leads the goalscoring charts in England’s top flight with six goals in seven outings as Jurgen Klopp’s side remain unbeaten and sit second in the league standings with only a point separating them from the table-toppers Chelsea.
Salah has been a real hit in front of the goal for Liverpool as is evident by Jurgen Klopp pushing for the club to tie down the 29-year-old forward to a new long-term deal sooner rather than later.

Real Madrid have been credited with an interest in signing the Liverpool man but Klopp is hopeful that Salah will be penning an extension at Anfield despite his wants of a major wage bump in his wages.
Speaking to The Daily Mail, Liverpool icon Ian Rush has voiced lavish praise for Salah who was labelled as the ‘best player in the world’ by the former Welsh striker with extra plaudits for the player’s wonder strike against Manchester City just prior to the international break.
“Mo Salah at the moment is the best player in the world.”
“He has taken it to a different level. He has been absolutely fantastic this season.
“Not just with his goalscoring but also with his assists as well. People say “he’s selfish” but he has taken his game to a different level now.
“He is playing for the team and if you look against Manchester City, the goal he scored was absolutely incredible. Not just for the skill. But two or three years ago Mo Salah would not kick with his right foot.
“But that goal against Manchester City was with his right foot and he has learned from that. Defenders normally would take him down his right-hand side because he would not shoot and on his left he can do anything.
“But defenders now are worrying whether they should go to the right or left of him and that is why he has improved his game.”
