Jurgen Klopp hails Mo Salah after he reached 150 goals for the club and said 'no-one' could have imagined he would have scored so many goals so quickly when he first signed

Jurgen Klopp has admitted nobody predicted how quickly Mo Salah would become a Liverpool goalscoring legend after the brilliant Egyptian notched his 150th for the club in yesterday’s 3-1 win against Norwich.

Salah was considered a risk by many pundits when Liverpool signed him from Roma for £36milion in 2017 because of an indifferent previous spell in England with Chelsea.

However, he netted on his debut at Watford and hasn’t stopped scoring since. His tally of 150 in 233 matches represents the best strike rate of any Liverpool player in history who has scored more than 30 times for the club.
