Andy Robertson has claimed that Mohamed Salah has "got to be" the best signing Liverpool have made under Jurgen Klopp.
Salah arrived at Anfield in the same summer as Robertson in 2017 and the two players have won every trophy available with the Reds. Following that summer of arrivals, Klopp's team went on to reach three of the next five Champions League finals – winning in 2019 – along with securing the 2020 Premier League title.
Egyptian forward Salah has established himself as a world-class player during his stint at the Merseyside club, scoring 170 goals in 275 appearances, and this summer penned a new deal to extend his stay through to the summer of 2025.
There have been no shortage of important arrivals across Klopp's seven years in charge at Anfield, with the first summer seeing the arrivals of Sadio Mane, Georginio Wijnaldum and Joel Matip before the following summer saw Salah, Robertson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain arrive, before the landmark signing of Virgil van Dijk in January of that season.
Multiple key signings have followed since including Alisson, Fabinho, Diogo Jota, Thiago Alcantara, Ibrahima Konate and Luis Diaz, right up to this summer's arrivals of Darwin Nunez and Fabio Carvalho – yet Salah remains the standout signing.
Robertson believes the forward is the player who stands head and shoulders above the rest due to the goal-scoring records he set, although the Scottish full-back acknowledged the significance of the signings of Van Dijk and Alisson in that run.

Robertson explained on Pitch Side: "We've had good ones to be fair, we've had a lot of good ones," Robertson said. "Obviously, Virgil was a big one, Alisson was a big one, but I think it's got to be Mo with the records he's set and stuff like that.
"I was signed the same summer as him and not as much hype was made about me than him. He had a great run and he's not really stopped."
Alongside winning seven trophies across five seasons at Liverpool, Salah has also helped himself to multiple individual awards across that timespan. He has twice been crowned PFA Players' Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year, while winning the Premier League Golden Boot on three separate occasions – two of which were shared.
