Wijnaldum: Salah, Oxlade-Chamberlain have improved Liverpool squad

Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has no doubts summer signings Mohamed Salah and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have improved the squad.

Wijnaldum has hailed the instant impact of Salah.

The Dutchman told Liverpoolfc.com: "[He brings] a lot of pace and speed! He is technical.

"He is not only a guy who scores goals but is also a team player, trying to defend with the team and trying to let other players score.

"He's a great signing for Liverpool and he is also a good person.

"He has settled in really quick because he is a person who socialises with other players and loves to speak with other players, which makes it easier for him and for us to accept him."

On Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wijnaldum added: "The same as Mo – he is also really fast. He is a good team player, a player who can play in different positions.

"That makes it easier for the manager and for us as a team; if something happens in a game you have a few players who can play more positions. That can help us as a team."
