Kenny Dalglish has saluted Mohamed Salah for making a flying start to his Liverpool career.

The Kop legend has been blown away by the Egypt winger’s impact since his club record £36.9million move from Roma last summer.

Salah has proved an instant hit at Anfield, bagging 12 goals in 17 outings for the Reds ahead of Saturday’s home clash with Southampton.

And Dalglish is loving watching him in action.

“Mo has got a bad habit of scoring goals and he doesn’t want to give up that habit,” he told the ECHO.

“Sometimes clubs suit players and sometimes players suit clubs.

“He seems to have got a really happy relationship with the club, the players and the manager. He’s been excellent so far. Long may it continue.”

Dalglish has also been delighted by the rise of young Reds defender Joe Gomez, who made his England debut against Germany last week before producing a man-of-the-match display against Brazil at Wembley on Tuesday night.

“Great credit to Joe for the courage and the commitment he’s shown to get back to the top level after the bad injury he suffered,” he added.

“His development has been excellent. He looks like he’s going to have a really good future. It’s the same with Dominic Solanke. I’ve not seen as much of him but he knows where the goal is and his touch is good.

“Between the two of them, there’s a lot of promise. Not just for them but for the club.”

Dalglish is convinced that Liverpool have the right man at the helm to help ensure they fulfil their potential. He believes Jurgen Klopp is the perfect fit for the Reds and is confident he will end the club’s wait for silverware which dates back to his 2012 League Cup triumph.

“You’d almost think that Jurgen has been cloned to be Liverpool manager,” Dalglish said.

“He’s got everything that everybody had who has been successful at the club previously. Humility, enthusiasm, a strong relationship with the punters - he’s a good fit and a good guy.

“You’ll never get everybody but for me I don’t know where you would even contemplate getting someone else like that. We’re all right. This football club is in really good hands.

“I think it’s brilliant for us that we’ve got him, and I think in years to come, whenever he decides he is too old to manage, there’ll be a few pieces of silverware sat in the trophy room.”
