'Strikers have to be selfish' - Liverpool boss Klopp sees Golden Boot as added motivation for Salah

Jurgen Klopp admits that the chance to secure a third Premier League Golden Boot is acting as added motivation for Mohamed Salah, with the Liverpool boss taking no issue with the Egyptian adopting a "selfish" mindset.

A prolific presence in the Reds' ranks has finished as the English top flight's leading marksman on two previous occasions, with 32 efforts recorded in 2017-18 and 22 a year later as a prestigious prize was shared with Sadio Mane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Salah sits second on the top scorer chart this season, having found the target on 19 occasions, but he has seen 21-goal Harry Kane pick up an untimely injury and has seven games in which to hit the summit once more.
