Salah tipped as Ronaldo and Messi successor by Hitzfeld

The Egypt international's incredible form continues and the former coach is tipping both him and Jurgen Klopp to reach great heights in their careers

Mohamed Salah can replace Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the world's best player if he continues this season's form, says Ottmar Hitzfeld.

Salah has been in electrifying form for Liverpool since joining from Roma last summer. The Egypt international has been named PFA Player of the Year amid his 31 goals in 34 Premier League games as well as a further 10 strikes in 11 matches in the Champions League this term.
