England legend Butcher: I'll always take Liverpool ace Salah over Suarez

England legend Terry Butcher rates Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah ahead of former Reds star Luis Suarez.

Butcher claims he would pick Salah over the current Barcelona striker, should the choice be made available.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, he said: “[I'd rather have] Salah in my team.

“I don't like Suarez because he never lasts the tournament and always gets suspended.

“Both are quality players and goalscorers.

“But I think Salah gives you width, comes inside, supplies goals and scores great goals as well.

"He's fast and a real pest.

“Suarez is a real pest inside the box but I actually think you would see more of Salah on the ball in the match than Suarez."
