Francesco Totti issues Mohamed Salah warning

Francesco Totti believes Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah can still improve despite already being 'one of the best players in the world'.

The Egypt international has scored 30 goals in a remarkable debut season, becoming only the 13th player in 126 years to reach that tally in a single campaign for the Reds.

But Totti, a former teammate of Salah at AS Roma, senses the 25-year-old – who was also pivotal in his country’s qualification for the World Cup this summer – can move up yet another gear.

“The level he is playing at, at the moment, he is one of the best players in the world – and I think he can and will get even better,” said the Italian legend.

“I know him well. He is a good friend and wants to keep improving, to keep getting better as a player.

“He does all the right things, he trains hard, he works hard, he listens to the coaches – that’s why, as good as he is playing at the moment, I think maybe there is even one more level in him.”
