Egyptian legend Mido is backing Roma attacker Mohamed Salah to move to Liverpool.

Mido, who now manages Egyptian Premier League side Wadi Degla, also believes his compatriot will thrive under Jurgen Klopp as the Reds and Roma continue to negotiate a deal.

"Salah will definitely move to Liverpool," said Mido. “It's just a matter of time.

“Liverpool's style of play suits Salah perfectly and Klopp's style suits him."

He also told Kingfut: “I'm not concerned about the competition Salah will face in Liverpool, but I just fear he might not be able to cope with the higher tempo of playing in the Premier League."
