“With Mo’s record, it’s crazy. I don’t know how many he can break and he’s probably desperate to do so,” Klopp said as he showers praises to Salah while speaking to Sky Sports.
“Since he joined us, what a player! And he’s still hungry.
“I saw him in the dressing room and we were all in the situation concerning Harvey but he was still not happy for not scoring one or two other goals. That’s how top-class players are and that’s fine.”
