After Messi, he is next: Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah reveals favourite Argentine player

Salah will go down as one of the greatest footballers to ever grace the Premier League and a Liverpool legend.

In a recent interview with ESPN Argentina, (via AS) the 3-time Premier League Golden Boot winner was asked to name his favourite Argentine footballer.

“My favourite Argentine player other than Alexis Mac Allister? Messi,” Salah said.

“I love Messi. He is. Messi is Messi; I love Messi.”Salah added:

“I love Batistuta as well, I met him once in Argentina and got his t-shirt signed, but yeah, I love Messi.”

Salah will be hoping to lead Liverpool to the Premier League title this season, as the Reds navigate a thrilling three-horse race with Manchester City and Arsenal.

The Reds are just 2 points clear at the top and travel to Old Trafford this weekend for a clash that could have significant ramifications for the title.
