'Liverpool play better without Salah' - James urges Reds to sell star forward

The Merseyside club's former goalkeeper thinks the Egyptian is holding back the potential of Jurgen Klopp's squad

Liverpool play better without Mohamed Salah, according to David James, who has urged the Reds to cash in on their star forward this summer.

Salah has been Liverpool's main source of goals since moving to Anfield from Roma in 2017, scoring 125 times in 203 outings across all competitions to help Jurgen Klopp's side become Premier League and Champions League winners.

The Egyptian enjoyed another prolific campaign in 2020-21, but James thinks his presence is holding back the true potential of the squad after seeing them scrape a top-four finish and fail to win a single trophy.
