Ex Arsenal coach, Arsene Wenger has compared Liverpool winger, Mohamed Salah to Lionel Messi, referring to the African footballer as a "complete player." Salah created Naby Keita’s opening goal in Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Monterrey in the Club World Cup semi-final in Qatar on Wednesday, meaning, he now has 13 goals and seven assists in 23 games across all competitions for the season. Impressed by Mo’s ability to score and assist, Wenger has hailed his transformation from being just a goalscorer. His words, “I like his evolution,” “Because he had touches last night [against Monterrey] of a playmaker. “He created chances around the box that are exceptional, [there were shades] of Messi in him last night and I like that a guy who can score so many goals also becomes the guy who gives assists. “That is a complete player. That’s what we all admire and what we want from our players.” Klopp also said, “Very good, very good experiences [with Salah] but the most positive was on the training ground – sensationally good,” "On the pitch he’s great, really, really good.” “[The stadium] was especially loud when Mo came on the screen,” “I wouldn’t want to be in his position, with all the attention on me constantly, each touch. “He’s dealing really well with that [pressure], but don’t forget he’s a really normal person and he wants to have some relaxation as well from time to time.”
