Jack Wilshere believes Mohamed Salah is ‘scary’ - and says he would pick the Liverpool star over the £200m Neymar.
Former Arsenal and England midfielder Wilshere thinks Salah is the best player in the world right now.
The Egyptian has been in the form of his life since the season started and already has 15 Premier League goals to his name while leading the way in the top-flight assist chart, too.
Wilshere was asked to pick between Liverpool ’s talisman or Paris Saint-Germain’s Neymar.

“ Salah,” answered Wilshere on TalkSport. “Everyone is talking about him being the best player in the world, at this moment and I agree.
“The types of goals he scores. The way he runs at defenders. His consistency as well over the last few years is scary.
“I think he deserves that credit. But Salah for me.”
Salah has two games left for Liverpool before he departs for the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt.
The Reds head to Leicester City on Tuesday night before facing a crucial clash on Sunday at title-rivals Chelsea, who famously let the Egyptian King go.
Salah has been the best player in the Premier League by some way this season and he will be a huge miss for the Reds as they face a Carabao Cup semi-final against Arsenal as well as Premier League fixtures with Brentford and, most likely, Crystal Palace in his absence.
