Totti credits Klopp with turning Salah into a Liverpool superstar

A Roma legend admits to being surprised at how quickly a former team-mate has improved his game, but feels that is down to good management at Anfield

Mohamed Salah’s stunning form at Liverpool has surprised Roma legend Francesco Totti, with Jurgen Klopp credited with bringing the best out of a 41-goal talent.

As the Egypt international headed for the exits in the Italian capital last summer, a £36.9 million fee seemed fair for a winger who was considered to be more of a creator than a finisher.

Salah has, however, exceeded all expectations at Anfield, with his price tag now looking like quite the bargain as he chases down Golden Boot and Golden Shoe prizes to go with a PFA Player of the Year award.
