Liverpool star Salah: Nunez and Gakpo deserve more credit

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has singled out Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez for praise.

Salah may earn most of the goalscoring plaudits at the Anfield club, but he knows that he does not work alone.

The Egyptian has been extremely complimentary towards fellow attackers Gakpo and Nunez.

"I think Darwin and Cody," said the Egyptian when asked about underrated teammates, per the Liverpool Echo.

"Cody doesn't get credit because the fans I don't know if they really understand his game or not.

“But he is a very, very clever player. I admire the way he thinks, it's very, very good. He is young and wants to learn, he asks a lot of questions.

"Darwin is a key for us as well. The way he plays, the way he opens space for us, it's very good.

“But he doesn't get a lot of credit because once he misses a chance, others fans start to jump (on him) and Liverpool fans start defending him and he's inside that mess. But for me, he's one of the best players on the team."
