'Salah is the most attacked player in the Premier League' - Klopp wants 43-goal star protected

The Liverpool boss believes his talisman is often targeted for rough treatment, with referees doing little to aid the cause of an honest performer

Liverpool’s 43-goal forward Mohamed Salah is “the most attacked player in the Premier League”, according to Reds boss Jurgen Klopp.

The Egypt international has enjoyed a remarkable return to English football, with the former Chelsea flop establishing superstar status at Anfield.

Records have been sent tumbling by the 25-year-old during a stunning debut campaign on Merseyside, with his efforts having sparked Ballon d’Or talk.

Salah did draw a rare blank in his latest outing, as Liverpool were held to a 0-0 draw by Stoke, but his manager believes that more needs to be done to ensure that he continues to flourish in the future.
