Conor Gallagher says Arsenal have a player who's actually better than Mohamed Salah
Yesterday at 11:15 AM
Mohamed Salah is undoubtedly one of the very best players in world football right now.
Salah is a Ballon d'Or contender after his incredible performances this season, and he's almost a shoo-in for the PFA Player of the Year award if he keeps this up.
Indeed, Liverpool are favourites to win the Premier League right now, and a lot of that is down to Salah.
However, Salah isn't the only winger in the Premier League who is playing out of his skin right now.
Cole Palmer has been excellent for Chelsea, while Arsenal have their own superstar winger.
Indeed, Bukayo Saka has been brilliant this season, and according to Conor Gallagher, speaking to ESPN, Saka is actually a better player than Salah right now.
Bukayo Saka is better than Mohamed Salah
Gallagher was asked to pick between Saka and Salah when speaking to ESPN.
The England midfielder didn't have to give his answer much thought as he picked Saka ahead of the Liverpool star.
Gallagher may be a tad biased here.
Indeed, Gallagher and Saka are friends from the England camp, and Gallagher has previously praised Saka for his brilliance.
Gallagher didn't just choose between Saka and Salah, he also made a few other tough footballing decisions.
| Question | Conor Gallagher’s answer |
| Bukayo Saka or Mohamed Salah? | Bukayo Saka |
| Fernando Torres or Antoine Griezmann | Antoine Griezmann |
| Diego Costa or Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink | Diego Costa |
| John Terry or Frank Lampard? | Frank Lampard |
Bukayo Saka compared to Salah
Gallagher says that Saka is better than Salah, but based on this season's form, it's hard to agree.
Indeed, Salah has been by-far-and-away the most effective player in the Premier League this term for the team currently at the top of the table.
| Bukayo Saka | Mohamed Salah | |
| Games | 16 | 16 |
| Goals | 5 | 15 |
| Assists | 15 | 11 |
Salah wipes the floor with any player in the Premier League statistically this season, he's the top scorer and the top assister in the league, and he's on track to break all sorts of records this term.
Arne Slot's side have been imperious this season, and it's fair to say that Salah's incredible form has been at the heart of that.
Salah's contract is up next summer, and Liverpool need to address that situation as soon as possible.
Luckily, Salah's contract talks are going well, and this situation could well be resolved in the coming weeks.
Saka has also been brilliant this term, but there many not be a player on planet earth who has perfomed as well as Salah this season.
