Former Liverpool star says Salah is not Africa’s GOAT, names Drogba and ex-Chelsea striker as the best

A former Liverpool star has claimed that Egyptian legend Mohamed Salah is not Africa’s greatest of all time.

Salah has had a tremendous career for Egypt, having been their best player for the last few years.

The 32-year-old took his team to two AFCON finals in 2017 and 2021 but had to settle for the runner-up position.

Despite Salah’s efforts, Senegalese legend El Hadji Diouf insists that he is not the best forward in Africa.

Liverpool are now aware of the price tag for their preferred Mohamed Salah replacement, according to reports.

The Liverpool man was heavily linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League during the summer transfer window but a move failed to materialize.

According to ESPN Africa, Diouf said, “Don’t forget we used to have Samuel Etoo, we used to have Roger Miller and I think Mo Salah has done well but the top scorer of Africa is still Samuel Etoo and Didier Drogba.”
