Former Everton striker Yakubu has lauded the performance levels of Liverpool forward Mo Salah, ahead of his AFCON campaign this month.
Nigerian Yakubu is well aware of Salah and how he is perceived on Merseyside. The ‘Yak’ was a big fan favourite on Merseyside himself, albeit with the blue half.
However, that hasn’t stopped Yakubu singing the praises of Liverpool star Salah.
Speaking in an interview for The Mirror, Yakubu pointed out how Salah’s consistency makes him one of the top ‘legends’ in African football.
Speaking about Salah in the interview, Yakubu shared his thoughts on the £34m forward.
“Salah has won African Footballer of the Year twice. He is just so good. He’s still one of the top legends in Africa, not only now but of all-time. He’s just so consistent for Liverpool and is scoring so many goals. Egypt are strong and they also have many other great players,” Yakubu said.
Salah is leading Liverpool’s charge towards the Premier League title this season after the Red kept him in the summer amid interest from Saudi Arabia.
