Mohamed Salah: Former Liverpool Star Paul Ince Claims Egyptian is Not World Class

• Paul Ince has shared his views on Liverpool star Mohamed Salah
• The former Liverpool star has disclosed the Egyptian's weakness
• Salah is Liverpool's leading scorer in the ongoing campaign

Former Liverpool midfielder, Paul Ince insists talismanic Egyptian forward, Mohamed Salah, is not technically a world-class player.

Salah has been Liverpool's livewire throughout the campaign as the Reds chased a 20th Premier League title in what will be manager Jurgen Klopp's final season with the Merseyside club.

The former Chelsea winger has already netted 23 goals in the ongoing season, making him Liverpool's leading scorer.

Ince, who also played for Manchester United, believes Salah is a world-class goal scorer but would not rate him as one of the best technically.

"Is he a world-class goal scorer? Yes," he said on talkSPORT.

"I think his record speaks for itself. Is he a world-class player, technically? I wouldn't say so," he added.

The former Reading coach went on to explain why he thinks Salah is not a technically world-class player, revealing his struggles with the ball.

"I think sometimes when he cuts in on his left foot, putting balls into the box, they are not great," he continued. "But as far as a world-class player scoring goals and making things happen, I think yes."

Salah scored a late penalty as Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford last Sunday, as reported by the BBC.
