And it’s the Egyptian who Slot cited when describing the quality of Ngumoha’s forward play. We think we might know the winner 😁 Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images Arne Slot saw Mo Salah in Rio Ngumoha’s play against Fulham When Salah leaves Anfield at the end of the season, he’s going to leave behind a void of seismic proportions.

“There was more and more power to what he did which is needed if you play against the best defenders in the world and I don’t think anyone is surprised then at this moment in time he scored his first goal. “He has such a special quality which you don’t see a lot in football anymore, dominating the 1v1 situation and that’s exactly what he did when he scored his goal um making the ball free by twisting and turning and then hitting it in like a Mo Salah finish.” It really was a Salah-esque goal, just from the opposite flank.

His response: “Yeah, I think he’s ready. But now he’s just someone I can pick for any game.”Is he good enough?
