Rush said that based on the current levels of performances of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, it can be said that Salah is performing better than them both. Salah, who is often called the Egyptian Messi, has turned out to be quite a revelation since he got transferred from Roma to Liverpool this summer. The soccer player has made 23 goals this season, in only 29 appearances in all the competitions so far. He is undoubtedly one of the best performers of EPL season 2017-18 and is going to perform in 17 upcoming games in the Premier League.

He is all set to create a record season with the team, with his performances having impressed the all-time highest goal-scorer of Liverpool, hugely.
