‘Fitting in beautifully’ – Collymore delivers glowing verdict on Liverpool signing
By Derek Smithson
Stan Collymore has heaped major praise on Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah and believes he is a great fit at Anfield.
The 25-year-old completed his move from Roma in the summer and has returned to English football following a frustrating spell with Chelsea.
He started on Wednesday during Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League Asia Trophy, where they have set up a meeting with Leicester in the final.
Salah began the game in an exciting frontline alongside teammates Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturdige.
The Egypt international usually operates from the right flank and is blessed with blistering pace.
Collymore feels that the wide man will be a part of an exciting attacking set-up for Liverpool and stated he was brilliant for Klopp’s team.
He will be competing alongside the likes of Firmino, Sturrdige, Divock Origi, Dominic Solanke, Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho for a starting position.
“Liverpool are going to have some front three or four to pick from this season. Salah fitting in beautifully,” Collymore wrote on his personal Twitter account.
Salah will be aiming to make a big impact in the Premier League and he was in great form for Roma last season.
The winger made 41 appearances in the last campaign across all competitions, scoring 19 goals and supplying 15 assists in return.
He will be looking to aid the Merseyside club’s domestic aspirations and is also likely to play an important role in their Champions League campaign.
