Former Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant has thrown a contentious viewpoint into the mix claiming that Mohamed Salah has surpassed club great Steven Gerrard as Liverpool’s best player of the Premier League era.
‘You’d have to say Salah is Liverpool’s best-ever Premier League player simply due to his stats,” Pennant stated when giving his reasons as to why Salah is Liverpool’s best Premier League player compared to Gerrard.
“We understand what Steven Gerrard did for Liverpool, but if you’re looking at goals, assists, and overall numbers, Salah has been phenomenal and has broken all kinds of records.
“You’d have to say he’s one of Liverpool’s best players of the Premier League era.’’
Pennant’s bold statement follows Salah’s exceptional feat of becoming Liverpool’s all-time leading Premier League goalscorer in March, as well as his recent milestone of scoring his 200th goal in English football.
As disputes regarding Salah’s place in Liverpool’s pantheon heat up, the impending match against Manchester City on November 25 looms huge.
The encounter, which takes place after the international break, is set to be an important turning point for Liverpool in what promises to be a thrilling contest for English football’s top award.
As perspectives vary, one thing is certain: Salah’s impact continues to resonate, altering the narrative of Liverpool’s illustrious Premier League past.
