Liverpool forward Mo Salah has scored 77 times in 116 games for the Reds across all competitions.
Salah joined Liverpool from Roma in 2017, and he has gone on to score goals at a remarkable rate in a Liverpool shirt.
Salah has hit the back of the net 77 times in 116 games for Klopp’s side, which represents by far the best form of his career.
And Klopp has admitted that he didn’t envisage Salah having such a big influence on his side.
“No, of course not, I don’t even think Mo saw that, that is how it is,” said the Liverpool boss, when asked whether he though Salah would perform as well as he has for Liverpool.
“We all have our dreams and Mo for sure, he dreams big and wants to achieve a lot and that is good. The way we play helped him, the status he had from the first day in the team helped him.
“We didn’t see that he would score 44 goals but we saw that he would help us and that is the most important thing. I was really happy for him and happy for us. We need a bit of luck with signings, we had that.”
Salah is now regarded as one of the most devastating attackers in world football.
The Egyptian is one third of a Liverpool attacking unit which has destroyed Premier League defences time after time.
The Reds have been in wonderful form so far this season, taking maximum points from their first eight games.
Salah actually limped off injured during Liverpool’s last game, but even without him, Klopp’s side managed to get past the challenge of Leicester City.
Liverpool are next in action after the international break, when they take on Manchester United, and the hope is that Salah will have shaken off his currently injury by then.
