Rio Ferdinand believes Mohamed Salah is the ‘most devastating player around at the moment’.
With 16 goals in the Premier League already for the Liverpool number 11, Salah has been on a different level to the rest of the league.
The Egyptian leads the way in the race for the Golden Boot by six and is level at the top of the assist rankings on nine.
Salah added another memorable moment to his repertoire in Sunday’s draw with Chelsea as he glided past Marcos Alonso as if he wasn’t there to then slot past Edouard Mendy.

Former Manchester United defender Ferdinand, speaking on Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE , admitted that he enjoyed seeing Salah score at the weekend.
“He’s in my Fantasy team so I was buzzing when he scored that, to be honest with you,” Ferdinand said.
“The way he stood Alonso up shimmied a bit moved him up, pressed pause for a minute and slapped it in the goal.
“He’s the most devastating player around at the moment. He's so decisive, getting two or three chances a game.
“He’s too hot to handle now.”
Liverpool have to cope without their star man for the whole of January as he is away at the Africa Cup of Nations representing his beloved Egypt.
