Former Premier League star says Mo Salah 'deserves more respect' as he takes the wingers side against Klopp

A former Premier League star thinks Mohamed Salah 'deserves more respect' after a touchline bust-up with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

Salah was pictured arguing with Klopp during the Reds' 2-2 draw with West Ham on Saturday whilst he was waiting to come on as a substitute.

Darwin Nunez had to calm the pair down and both of them had little to say about the incident at full-time.

The Egyptian king hasn't been at his best this season and with Klopp departing at the end of the campaign question marks over Salah's future remain.

Liverpool turned down a mega £150 million offer from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad last summer but are likely to cash in this time around as he enters the final year of his contract.

Many fans and former players have had their say on the argument, with a former Premier League star taking the winger's side.

As per Empire of the Kop, Salah's former national teammate Ahmed Elmohamady said: "One of the most successful players in Premier League history deserves more respect. Honestly."

Salah was dropped which might have explained the reason for the argument, but it's clear for all to see that tensions are rising now that Liverpool have fallen behind in the title race.

Recent defeats to Crystal Palace and rivals Everton mean they are now unlikely to give Klopp a trophy-winning send-off.

Whatever happens between now and the end of the campaign both Klopp and Salah will be Liverpool legends forever.

Next season is the start of a new era and there will be big questions to ask with the club edging closer to appointing Feyenoord manager Arne Slot.

There's likely to again be further interest from Saudi Arabia for Salah and it seems like now is the right time for him to move on.
