Mohamed Salah is having the season of his life at Liverpool.
The Egyptian star has been an immense signing for the Reds since joining the Mesreyside club in 2017 from Roma and after many impressive seasons in a red shirt, the 2024/25 campaign may be his best as the winger is on course to fire his team to the Premier League title.
The best people to judge just how good Salah has been are the opponents he has played against and one star in the Premier League, who is attracting interest from Liverpool, has been full of praise for the Egypt international ahead of a potential summer transfer.

Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen has been linked to Liverpool in recent weeks as the Reds continue to search the centre-back market for a new signing ahead of the summer transfer window.
That transfer fee has also attracted Real Madrid to Huijsen’s situation and the player’s father recently dropped a hint that the La Liga champions would be his son’s preferred destination.
One thing Liverpool may have in their favour is Huijsen’s admiration of Salah, with the Bournemouth star naming the Egyptian as one of the three hardest players he has played against.

Speaking about Salah to ESPN, the Spain international said: “Salah, because he is always in the right place.
He just seems to always be in the right spot.”
Huijsen might want the chance to play alongside Salah one day and that could prompt the centre-back to choose a move to Liverpool this summer, should the Reds winger sign a new deal at Anfield.
In addition to Salah, the Bournemouth defender also named another striker, and his comments highlight why Liverpool should make a move ahead of next season.
Alexander Isak is considered Liverpool’s top target ahead of the summer transfer window as Arne Slot looks to add a new striker to his squad.
The Swedish star is in the form of his life at Newcastle this season and having come up against the 25-year-old in the Premier League, Huijsen has praised the forward in a way every goalscorer wants to hear.
There is set to be a lot of competition for Isak this summer and it would be a huge coup should the Premier League leaders land the Swedish star.
