Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson believes Mohamed Salah can become of the club's greatest ever players.
The Egyptian took his Premier League tally to 28 with a four-goal haul in Saturday's win over Watford.
Rumours have already sprouted up linking the 25-year-old with Real Madrid, but Lawrenson is adamant he can join an illustrious list of Liverpool players if remains at Anfield.
"He must be an absolute nightmare to try to contain. Salah, for a defender, has that horrible trait where you know what he is going to do and you can see what he wants to do but his feet are so quick and his skill is so great that it doesn't matter what you do: you won't stop him," Lawrenson told the Daily Mail.
"Like everyone else, I watched in awe on Saturday. Jurgen Klopp would have hoped for a big season from the Egyptian when he signed him last summer but privately he must be doing cartwheels over how it has turned out – 36 goals by the middle of March is beyond everyone's wildest dreams.
"To get to 40 goals would be an astonishing achievement, simply because of where he plays.
"He isn't a centre-forward. He plays off the right and those little steps he takes – it looks like he is shuffling at high speed sometimes – have inflicted huge damage.
"If he carries on in this fashion and helps the teams win trophies, he will have a chance of becoming one of the club's most influential players of all time – I can't remember a better debut season – and these are the standards to which he must aspire.
"So I've put together my top 10 biggest influencers. I must, first, apologise to men such as Alan Hansen, Phil Thompson, Roger Hunt, Rushie, Michael Owen, Xabi Alonso and Luis Suarez that I couldn't fit them in!
"Trust me, I have agonised over it. But this isn't about who is the best player and it isn't in ranking order."
