Wenger sees Lionel Messi in Liverpool ace Salah

Arsene Wenger says he is seeing touches of Lionel Messi in Liverpool star Mohamed Salah.

Wenger was speaking after the Reds defeated Monterrey in the Club World Cup semi-final in Qatar.

“I like his evolution,” Wenger said to beIN Sports. “Because he had touches last night [against Monterrey] of a playmaker.

“He created chances around the box that are exceptional, [there were shades] of Messi in him last night and I like that a guy who can score so many goals also becomes the guy who gives assists.

“That is a complete player. That’s what we all admire and what we want from our players.”
