Mohamed Salah will add another dimension to Liverpool's attack thanks to his possession of attributes that complement his new teammates perfectly.

That is the assertion of former Reds forward Craig Bellamy, who has labelled the club’s new No.11 a ‘very good player’ and an ‘intelligent signing’ by Jürgen Klopp.

Salah sealed his switch to Anfield from AS Roma last Thursday, having established himself as one of Serie A’s most productive attacking players over the last two-and-a-half seasons.

And the arrival of the 25-year-old Egypt international, who will officially become a Liverpool player on July 1, 2017, has excited Bellamy.

“I remember watching him when he was at Basel and he looked a very good player,” the Welshman told Liverpoolfc.com.

“He deservedly got his move to Chelsea, it didn’t quite work out for him [there]… but his spell at Roma was very, very good. He has pace to burn and looks to go in behind, which is what Liverpool need, and hopefully he’ll work out to be a very good signing.”

Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho were, for the majority of last season, Klopp’s first choice three-pronged forward line.

That trio finished the campaign with a total of 39 goals between them, and Bellamy sees Salah - who netted 29 times in 65 league appearances across for Roma - as a player able to provide the Reds with additional threat up front.

“What I like about him is that he’s always looking to get beyond and get behind the full-back and that’s really what they need,” he said.

“Coutinho, Firmino, they come towards the ball a lot, which is great because they’re excellent players and they make things happen, but you need runners.

“Mane made such a big difference because he was always looking to go in behind, so for me it’s an intelligent signing, a signing of the type of player they really need at this moment.”
