Liverpool legend Steve Nicol has concerns over their move for Roma winger Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool should be wary of paying £40m for Salah, according to Nicol.

He told ESPN: "It is a lot of money, yeah. It's a lot of money for Liverpool to buy a player, who, if everybody is fit, I don't think starts.

"You play Coutinho on the left, you play Mane on the right. I don't think you play Salah through the middle, that means he doesn't start.

"As far as the squad, obviously Liverpool are in the Champions League yes, but for £40m? I don't think so."
