Graeme Souness slaughters Mo Salah as Liverpool legend brands him 'most selfish' player he's ever seen

Graeme Souness has slaughtered Liverpool star Mo Salah as the "most selfish" player he has ever seen and reckons he's heading for the Anfield exit door this summer.

Salah got into a touchline spat with Reds boss Jurgen Klopp during their 2-2 draw at West Ham as Salah was about to come on as a sub. When asked to explain in the mixed zone after the game, Salah wouldn't give details but did say that if he was to talk then "there will be fire."

Salah was the subject of a mega bid from Saudi Pro League outfit Al Ittihad during the summer transfer window. But with just a year left on his deal, many are predicting the Reds will cash in this year to help boost funds for incoming boss Arne Slot as he prepares to take over from Klopp. Liverpool legend Souness reckons the "Egyptian King" is heading for the Middle East, and issued a stinging parting shot at the Kop favourite.

"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.”
