Liverpool boss Klopp: Another level to come from Salah

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says there's another level to come from Mohamed Salah.

Klopp declared Salah the "best player in the world right now" after victory at Watford.

He also said, "He's for a while already on that level. Of course, he improves, that's good. He is in his age where you can still improve, and he's doing that constantly. You saw the first goal that he set up for Sadio today, that is an outstanding pass. He brought that, I don't know, from the summer break. After that, he started doing these kinds of things.

"How I said, we don't have hours and hours and hours to train different things. But the boys improve their game by themselves. The consistency he delivers, all this kind of stuff, maybe people just now start seeing it – it was always there. He plays for us, I don't know, for five years now but it's absolutely incredible the way he performs since he's here.

"He's in the top, top five since he is at Liverpool pretty much. And now he is the best in that moment. The big thing between Cristiano and Messi was that nobody had a doubt about it for years, but Mo is already on the top level for years as well and there's still a lot to come from him because of his desire. He just wants to perform on a top-class level."
