‘A hunger’: Thiago says Liverpool 30-year-old one of the best he’s played with in his career

Thiago Alcantara has stated that Liverpool forward Mo Salah is one of the best players he has played with in his career.

The former Bayern Munich and Barcelona star praised the 30-year-old’s ‘consistency’ both on and off the field of play.

In terms of forwards, Thiago was blessed to share the same pitch as Lionel Messi and Barcelona’s new star Robert Lewandowski, when they were at the Allianz Arena.

But someone like Salah, and don’t forget Sadio Mane, can put his name into the hat now.

He netted a brace during Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Tottenham on Sunday, his sixth goal in 13 Premier League games, which is pretty good going for a player that has seemingly been off it this season, as Thiago praised his teammate on Premier League Productions (06/11/22 at 6:40 pm).

“For sure, he is one of the top forward and wingers that I have played with in my career,” said Thiago. “Then is the consistency that he has, not just on the pitch, but outside of it.

“His work ethic, how he wants to help the team and how he wants to help himself. I think he has a hunger that defines a striker in those days.”

SALAH IS ONE OF LIVERPOOL’S GREATEST

Salah recently signed a new long-term contract at Anfield and it seems as though he is going to end his career on Merseyside.

Even today, if he were to walk out of the door, he could argue that he gets into Liverpool’s greatest-ever XI.

And to think that he has many more years to produce the goods at Liverpool, then he can only boost his reputation even further.
