‘Better than Salah’ – Belief player can outshine Liverpool icon, perhaps play at same club

Eintracht Frankfurt star Omar Marmoush could be better than Mohamed Salah but there’s no reason the pair can’t play together at Liverpool.

That’s according to journalist Tarek Metwally, who has been speaking to BILD and believes the Egyptian is on his way to the top of Europe thanks to his performances this season.

Marmoush has been earning a growing list of admirers over the last year after joining Frankfurt on a free transfer from VfL Wolfsburg.

Since that point the 25-year-old has gone from strength to strength, establishing himself as the star man for the German club with 26 goals and 12 assists in 50 games.

Reports from Germany have consistently linked him with a move to the Premier League, with Liverpool believed to be keen admirers.

They already have an Egyptian superstar on their books in Mohamed Salah, whose record of 217 goals and 94 assists in 359 games since 2017 has established him as one of the biggest players in the world and undoubtedly one of the best in Liverpool’s history.

Whether he continues at Anfield beyond next summer remains to be seen, though, as the 32-year-old is out of contract in June and yet to agree to an extension.

For some, Marmoush is seen as a potential replacement if Salah leaves and Metwally believes he is capable of filling that void, although he can also see them playing together in red.

“Everyone here is predicting a very great future for him. In my opinion, Marmoush is in a better position than Salah was at his age,” he said.

“If he continues like this, he will be better at some point. Salah was initially characterised by his speed, then developed further. Marmoush, on the other hand, is also very fast, but already has other skills. Some people in Egypt would like to see him in the Premier League, especially at one of the top clubs.

“I am not exaggerating when I say that Frankfurt’s last game against Bayern was watched by Egyptian fans in a similar way to Salah’s games with Liverpool, for example against Manchester United, Manchester City or Real Madrid.

“The Egyptian cafes were almost shaken by Marmoush’s two goals against Neuer, who is considered by a large part of Egyptians to be one of the best goalkeepers in the history of football. Most Egyptians would like to see Marmoush and Salah as teammates on the same team.”
