Wenger likens Liverpool 's 'obsessed' Salah to Messi

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has likened Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah to Barcelona star Lionel Messi.

But Wenger believes the Egyptian attacker must become more consistent with his finishing.

"He [Salah] has similarities with Messi," Wenger told beIN Sports.

"He must find the consistency of Messi.

"I find he's a good finisher but Messi has the complete thing, he gives the final ball as well.

"Salah is a bit obsessed with finishing himself.

"That's a dimension he'll get certainly, when he grows a little bit older, to find the moment when you have to give the ball and when you have to finish.

"But I like him very much, he has huge potential. Mane as well."
