Mohamed Salah now on same level with Messi and Ronaldo - Samuel Eto'o (Details, pics)

Football legend Samuel Eto'o Fils has explained that Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah falls in the same category with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Since the Egyptian striker joined Premier League club Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has been impressive for the Anfied club. He has scored 21 Premier League goals this season for Liverpool and Samuel Eto'o stated that Mohamed Salah is in the the same with Ronaldo and Messi.

The Ex Barcelona star said;  Mohamed Salah is probably one of the best players in the world who is as good as Messi and Ronaldo.

“His performances for Liverpool have been great and for me, I am always glad to see African players at the top level.

“He deserves his award and hopefully he has more years like this.” Eto'o was quoted to have said by UK Sun.

Salah, 25, looked like he had a one-way ticket out of the Premier League when he flopped at Chelsea.

He was loaned to Fiorentina and Roma and there were doubts over the Reds’ £34.3 million move for him in the summer. Salah also helped Egypt to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup which will be played in Russia, and he is also the current African best player of the year.

The former Roma striker won the award in Ghana beating his teammate Sadio Mane and Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Liverpool currently occupy fourth position on the Premier League standings with 51 points from 26 games played this season.
