Paul Merson suggests that Tottenham Hotspur star Dele Alli should learn from Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah.
Alli is one of the best young midfielders in the world and is a key player in the current Tottenham team.
The 21-year-old England international midfielder, though, is not having a great season at the moment.
On the other hand, Salah has been one of the best players in the Premier League this season.
The 25-year-old Egypt international winger has scored 28 goals and provided nine assists in 28 Premier League starts for Liverpool so far this campaign.
Former Arsenal star Merson has suggested that Alli needs to learn from Salah.
Merson wrote in The Daily Star: “Alli should watch some videos of Mo Salah and study how he runs off the ball. That used to be his strength too.
“He was all about making those late runs into the box. But he’s lost that. It’s not laziness but maybe he thinks he’s better than he is. He keeps trying to come short and get involved in the play. That’s not his game.
“I would rather see him making his runs off the last defender, stretching a back four, letting the ball find him when he’s bearing down on goal rather than him go looking for it himself.”
Quality footballer
Alli needs to step up his game in the final weeks of the season and add consistency to his game.
The Tottenham midfielder, who earns £50,000 per week as salary according to The Daily Star, is certainly a player who has a lot of quality and potential.
Salah has taken his game to a whole new level this season, but it remains to be seen if the former Chelsea star, who earns £90,000 per week as salary at Liverpool according to The Independent, can do it year after year.
