'Forty-three goals, f*****g hell!' - Lovren sees Salah at Messi & Ronaldo level

Mohamed Salah’s remarkable exploits at Liverpool have him in Ballon d’Or contention alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, says Dejan Lovren.

The Egypt international has maintained a stunning level of consistency throughout a debut campaign at Anfield, with his goal return taken to 43 during a midweek Champions League clash with Roma .

Salah ran his former club ragged in a semi-final encounter on Merseyside, netting twice and providing two assists in a comprehensive 5-2 win.

Plaudits have continued to rain down on the 25-year-old in the wake of another star showing, with club colleague Lovren the latest to suggest that the most prestigious of personal accolades could soon be heading Salah’s way .
