Salah signing takes Liverpool a step closer to title - Berger

Having completed a big-money move to Anfield, much is expected of the former Roma star, according to the Reds legend

Mohamed Salah is exactly the type of signing Liverpool needed to advance their Premier League title hopes, according to Patrik Berger, who has warned that more reinforcements are required to realise that dream.

The winger arrived from Serie A runners-up Roma on a long-term deal on Thursday, securing a return to the English top flight for an initial €42million following his less-than-impressive spell with Chelsea.

Salah is the signing of the summer so far

He proved a revelation in Italy, though, scoring 34 goals in 83 appearances in all competitions for Roma, and former Anfield favourite Berger believes Jurgen Klopp has got his hands on an excellent talent.
