CHRIS SUTTON: Mo Salah IS the world’s best player so Liverpool must agree a new deal fast

Mohamed Salah is currently the best footballer in the world. He’s better than Lionel Messi. Better than Cristiano Ronaldo. Better than Robert Lewandowski, Karim Benzema, Erling Haaland and whoever else you want to counter with.

They’re world-class players, all of them, but Salah is playing out of this world at the moment.

Where we see Premier League defenders, Salah sees those little orange cones that you use on the training field. He dances around them and scores — as we saw against Manchester City before the international break and as we saw against Watford.
