Gordon hails Salah influence at Liverpool: I'm learning from best in the world

Kaide Gordon admits he's valued learning from Mohamed Salah at Liverpool.

The teen has enjoyed a senior breakthrough in recent weeks.

“It's helped me a lot seeing him, especially because Mo plays in my position so seeing what he does," Gordon told liverpoolfc.com. “He is the best player in the world right now, so watching him and the extras he does really helps. It pushes me to try to get onto his level.

“The different types of positions he picks up, he scores from anywhere, he doesn't just stay out wide, he drifts inside and things like that, so that's definitely helped.

“He does a lot of work in the gym and he helps me with that as well; I've done some sessions with him. Mo really helps.

“I definitely couldn't have a better role model, Mo does everything right."
