Liverpool legend Ian Rush has said Mohamed Salah is the ‘best player in the world’ and is only going to get better.
Rush was speaking after Salah won his second Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year award on Thursday evening. The Reds star has been in sensational form this season with 30 goals and 15 assists in 46 appearances. Salah was voted FWA Footballer of the Year last week and collected his award at Thursday night’s ceremony having previously won the prize in the 2017/18 season. Rush was full of praise for Salah.
“He’s absolutely incredible to watch,” Rush told William Hill. “The last two or three years, he’s just got better and better. It’s no surprise to see him win the FWA award, he deserves it. He has this thing where he wants to improve all the time, he keeps himself incredibly fit and the way he conducts himself off the pitch is amazing as well.
