‘The most underrated’: Paul Merson says hardly anyone realises how good one Liverpool player actually is

Mohamed Salah is a world-class player, almost everybody recognises that.

However, while Salah is widely seen as a fantastic footballer, Paul Merson still maintains that the Egyptian is an underrated player.

Indeed, speaking on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday (16/12/23 12:30PM) Paul Merson claimed that Salah is one of the most underrated players around, claiming that he doesn’t get the credit he deserves sometimes.

Salah is underrated

Merson shared his verdict on the winger.

“I like Liverpool I think they will really be up there. Five forwards, Salah on the right and then two of the other four and you can swap, and it doesn’t weaken the team. No other team can do that, not even Arsenal. Salah, for me, he’s probably the most underrated, he doesn’t get the credit he deserves, the numbers he puts up are mind-boggling,” Merson said.

All-time great

As strange as it sounds, Merson may be right.

Look, everyone agrees that Salah is a fantastic player, and he isn’t underrated in that sense, but the wider conversation around his legacy now needs to happen.

Indeed, Salah needs to be considered among the very best to ever play this game now.

The winger has put up ridiculous numbers year after year. He’s well on his way to joining the Premier League 200 club, and he’s won all there is to win.

The winger is one of the best we’ve ever seen in the Premier League, and, by default, that makes him one of the greatest footballers of all-time.

The fact that Salah has never been on the Ballon d’Or podium is a borderline disgrace, because he’s certainly in the conversation of being the best player of his generation not named Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.

Salah, somehow, does remain a bit underrated despite being recognised as one of the best around.
