"To be classed as the greatest, a player must have achieved incredible success -- individually and with their team -- and done so over a sustained period of time. Many players can claim to have enjoyed success and longevity, but the best of them take their game to another level by being a team's catalyst, even providing the X-factor to take their side to glory, and Salah ticks all of those boxes."
"Salah will get the Liverpool farewell, but he leaves a void to fill. The mere suggestion that Salah places above Henry or De Bruyne will be met with a mixture of righteous indignation and ridicule by Arsenal and Manchester City supporters respectively."
Mohamed Salah is poised to leave Liverpool as one of the greatest players in Premier League history, possibly the greatest. He ranks above legends like Wayne Rooney, Kevin De Bruyne, Ryan Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Thierry Henry. To be deemed the greatest, a player must achieve significant success individually and with their team over time. Salah has consistently been a catalyst for his team, showcasing the X-factor needed for glory, similar to his iconic contemporaries. The debate over his ranking will evoke strong reactions from fans of rival clubs.
