Rio Ferdinand has said that Mohamed Salah belongs in Liverpool’s top tier, and the blunt truth is that this should not shock anyone anymore. Once a player has reached 250 Liverpool goals, driven one of the club’s great modern sides, and managed 323 appearances, 191 goals and 93 assists in the Premier League, the argument stops being sentimental and starts becoming historical.Now, Ferdinand has shared his belief that only Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard rank higher in the Reds’ history books.

Is Mohamed Salah Liverpool’s greatest EVER player? He is still too often discussed like an outstanding modern player rather than one of the defining figures in the club’s full history, and his body of work no longer leaves room for that smaller framing.Salah’s Liverpool numbers have moved beyond ordinary greatnessThe simplest way to judge this is to start with volume.

Discuss: Diomande has already proven he’s the BEST replacement for Mo Salah! But nostalgia is not evidence, and Salah’s Liverpool career now has too much evidence attached to it for anyone to keep treating him as a tier below the very best.Ferdinand’s exact order can still be disputed, and that is part of the fun of the argument.
