We need a good winger, especially now we know that Mo Salah is leaving."Michael Olise is the name that I like, he's a very good young player, he’s 24, he has experience in the Premier League, he knows the league, that’s so important."He's playing really well for Bayern Munich, it's going to be tough to find an agreement with them, we know that. But Olise at Liverpool would be very special."On Salah's Liverpool legacy, Smicer added: "We had so many good players at this club that we could have a lot of statues around the city."Of course, Steven Gerrard and Mohamed Salah, these two guys, were leaders, were top-class players, world-class players, and they are special."It's difficult to compare them, but of course, there is the legacy of Stevie G.



He's been a local lad, played his whole career for Liverpool. He definitely had chances to leave, but he always stayed."Mo Salah's statistics are just unbelievable.

I think he's the greatest winger ever to play for Liverpool, that's for sure."He will get the respect he deserves. If it's a statue or something else, I don't think it's that important, but he will stay in the hearts of the people and the players as one of the greatest ever players for Liverpool."Vladimir Smicer was speaking to BetVictor, who offer the latest World Cup betting.
