Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney believes Mohamed Salah is 'not world class' and would not want his children to play like the Liverpool forward in the future. Salah is regarded as one of the best forwards in the world following his impressive goal-scoring exploits since moving to Anfield from Serie A side AS Roma in the summer of 2017.

Troy Deeney has been torn into by former Aston Villa defender Ahmed Elmohamady after claiming Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is not “world class”. Salah has become one of the greatest players of the Premier League era during a seven-and-a-half year spell at Anfield and has helped the Merseyside giants win an array of silverware.
