Milner: Salah can be an Anfield hit for Liverpool

James Milner is confident Liverpool’s new signing Mohamed Salah will waste little time settling in to the Anfield way, as he prepares for a return to the Premier League.

The Egyptian international was previously on the Chelsea books as recently as 2016, though only made three appearances in the Blues’ title-winning campaign in 2015.

Since then he moved to Fiorentina and Roma, both on loan, before signing with the latter permanently in a starring role that saw him accrue 15 goals in 31 league games.

Now the forward is hopeful of a second wind in the English top flight, with Liverpool’s Milner supporting his optimism ahead of his side’s return to the Champions League.

“The way we play, you can’t have any passengers,” said the England man.

“Everyone mucks in and we’ve got great team spirit. Everyone gets on the front foot and gets the press; it only takes one person not to do it for it to break down.

“He’ll fit into that really well, with and without the ball. He’s very dangerous with it and causes a lot of problems. And without it, that’s so important the way we play.

“Looking at his stats and things like that, he has had a good season. He is a dangerous player and someone who is going to do really well for us, I’m sure.”
