Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen is amazed by the early impact of Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian, who became the most expensive player in Liverpool's history when signing from Roma in the summer, has scored eight goals and provided two assists in 13 games already this season.

“It's been a brilliant start," he said. “Liverpool are so well blessed.

“They have pace either side. I can't believe how many chances he makes.

“He isn't an unbelievable finisher but he gets so many chances every game, his numbers are totting up."

Owen, speaking to BT Sport, added: “He is nearly in double figures already.

“It's brilliant for a wide man. He already looks a brilliant signing."
