Mohamed Salah has revealed how advice from Arsene Wenger helped to turn him into the big-game player he is today.

Salah has been fantastic since he moved to Liverpool in 2017, but he has been better than ever this season, racking up 30 goals and 21 assists in 38 appearances heading into Wednesday's clash with Newcastle.

One of the themes of Salah's career has been that he can often have quiet matches but still manage to come up with important moments, and he credits a conversation with former Arsenal manager Wenger for that part of his game.

"I think I got that advice from Arsene Wenger in the past," Salah said.

"I asked him the same question actually [about what separates good players from great players] because he had great players in his career.

"He told me: 'The great players, it does not matter how he performs in the game.

If you stay focussed, maybe you will have one chance."

Salah's assist tally this season is already the highest of his career and he is enjoying setting his teammates up to score goals as well as finding the back of the net himself.

"I think it is my best season," Salah added.

"I think this is my best season because I make the players around me better as well, that is what I feel.

"I know their games

Plus my assists are higher, so that means I really help them a lot.

"Cody [Gakpo], Lucho [Luis Diaz], other players, their season is the best [in their careers] - so, I think this is my best season because I make the players around me also better'."
