Mohamed Salah has been hailed as African football’s greatest ever player by Mohamed Elneny, with the Arsenal midfielder ranking the Liverpool “legend” above the likes of Samuel Eto’o, Didier Drogba and Yaya Toure.
A prolific presence at Anfield is doing his best to justify that lofty billing, with 119 goals recorded through 191 appearances for the reigning Premier League champions.
His exploits have cemented a standing among the global elite and fellow Egyptian Elneny believes the 28-year-old should be considered the finest talent to ever emerge from the continent that he calls home.
