Salah has also been earning rave reviews on international duty after firing a brace – including a 95th minute penalty – to send Egypt to their first World Cup since 1990 earlier this month.

And the 25-year-old has now been given high praise from none other than legendary former Argentina star Diego Maradona.

“Salah is a brilliant player who can move right and left, and he can score goals using his leg as well as his head,” Maradona is quoted as saying.
