English soccer legend Paul Gascoigne compared Mohamed Salah to Lionel Messi amid the Egyptian’s incredible run of form.

On Wednesday, Salah scored twice as Liverpool played out an epic 3-3 draw with Newcastle United at St.

Recently, Liverpool braced itself for the exit of Salah and speculation surrounding his future has been ongoing for some time.

Salah’s contract is up at the end of the season and the 32-year-old is yet to receive an offer, despite reports Liverpool are set to make a proposal soon.

Salah has 13 goals and eight assists in 14 Premier League games this season to help Liverpool sit seven points clear atop the standings.

While Arne Slot is overseeing the start of his own tenure following the Jurgen Klopp era, losing perhaps one of the club’s most influential players after his first season would undoubtedly be a blow - especially if the Egyptian continues his incredible form and leads the Reds to Premier League or European glory.

Following the draw at Newcastle, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher suggested Salah was being “selfish” over how he has handled his contract dispute.

The former center-back insisted Salah shouldn’t have made the disagreement public, but Gascoigne insisted the Egyptian should not listen to the likes of Carragher.

When asked if Carragher is jealous over his comments, Gascoigne told cardplayer.com: “Yeah, probably.

So whatever I said worked.

“But a quality player, sometimes when that ball is at his feet it reminds me a little bit like Messi just sticks to his foot and he works back for his team, which is good, so I think Carragher was out of order calling him selfish.”

Following the 3-3 draw with Newcastle, Slot appeared to express his hope that Salah would commit his future to the club.
