Ian Wright picks Liverpool star Mohamed Salah over Vinicius Jr

In the realm of world football, few can deny that Liverpool star Mohamed Salah and Real Madrids’s Vinicius Jr. have risen to prominence as two of the finest wingers in the game today. Their electrifying performances on the pitch have dazzled fans and pundits alike. Recently, Ian Wright, a footballing legend in his own right, shared his perspective on this captivating debate.

Wright, speaking on Five, spoke about how, at the moment, Salah could edge it over Vinicius.

“Yeah, I think if you go for anything other than Mo with what Mo has done. What you have to say about Mo is that when Liverpool signed him from Roma you were a bit like ‘Mo Salah?’ But he hasn’t looked back. That man has just got in the fast lane and still has his foot on the pedal. That’s why these people are offering crazy money. I’m going to say Mo Salah for what he has done,”

Wright acknowledged Salah’s incredible trajectory since his arrival at Liverpool. The Egyptian winger hasn’t looked back since donning the famous Liverpool jersey. Instead, he has consistently elevated his game, season after season, becoming a symbol of excellence.
