“He is (a father figure). He’s the best possible man for the job, I can say, and the best possible person to be learning off.”

Speaking about Mohamed Salah’s stature, the Liverpool winger called him the best in the world. The Egyptian has gone from strength to strength at Anfield and has taken his performances up a notch.

“Who wouldn’t love playing with Mo Salah? In my opinion he’s the best in the world. “

The future star?

Harvey Elliott, a talented prospect may be waxing lyrical about Mohamed Salah today but it may not be long before the English wonderkid himself becomes a star in his own right.

Elliott has unbelievable potential and at 18, he has many many years to grow, As he himself alludes to, the former Fulham prospect is under the tutelage of one of the best managers in the world in Jurgen Klopp and the German manager can get the best out of him.

Having already secured the Carabao Cup, Liverpool are still in contention for three titles and Elliott will be hoping to play a starring role from now until the end of the season.
