Mohamed Salah is the 'best striker in the world', claims Arsene Wenger... as Liverpool star continues his hot streak with a brace in thrilling win at Atletico Madrid

Arsene Wenger has referred to Mohamed Salah as the 'best striker in the world' and credited his 'confidence, creativity and intelligence' for setting him apart from the rest.

The Egyptian forward scored twice during Liverpool's 3-2 Champions League triumph over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night and became the first player in the club's history to find the net in nine successive games.

Wenger - who made his assessment of Salah before his record-breaking performance at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium - believes the forward developed his skills from playing 'street football'.
