A former Liverpool star Mohamed Salah labelled Mohamed Salah as the most selfish player he's ever seen.

Salah has been in the news this week after his touchline spat with manager Jurgen Klopp during the 2-2 draw with West Ham United last weekend.

While it is unknown what Salah and Klopp argued about, former Reds captain Graeme Souness feels that Salah instigated the situation more than Klopp did.

“I believe Mohamed Salah is off and leaving Liverpool. He has been fabulous for Liverpool, but if he leaves to the Saudi Pro League then he’ll be the biggest star in that part of the world,” he said on the William Hill podcast, Three Up Front.

“He no doubt has an exceptionally large opinion of himself, and he’ll have been angry at not starting the game against West Ham last week. 

"I think the situation with Jurgen Klopp was a reaction to only being brought on with 10 minutes to go – it was more Salah than it was Klopp in that confrontation.

“Salah is the most selfish player I have ever witnessed. Even prior to that game, whenever Klopp takes him off, he is never happy about it. 

"That is what you want from your players, if you take them off on two goals, they should want to stay on to score a third. When Sadio Mane was there they’d fall out all the time.”
