Pundit says Liverpool have a player who’s a better finisher than Mohamed Salah

Liverpool kick off their Premier League season on Saturday afternoon against Ipswich, and they will be wating to put in a statement performance against The Tractor Boys.

The Reds kickstart the Arne Slot era with high expectations after a solid pre-season, and who knows? Perhaps even a title challenge could be on the cards.

Speaking on , Clinton Morrison has been previewing Liverpool’s season, and while he says that he is confident about how the Reds will get on, he says he does have one worry.

Morrison says he’s concerned about Diogo Jota’s injury record, claiming that the Portuguese striker has to stay fit this entire season.

Morrison, interestingly, said that the former Wolves man is the best finisher at Liverpool.

Diogo Jota is the best finisher at Liverpool

Morrison shared his verdict on Jota.

“Do you know what worries me? The injuries. You can’t lose players like Jota, Jota is outstanding, he is the best finisher at that club, but you need to keep him fit for the entire season.

What Jermain Defoe has said about Diogo Jota’s finishing

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard Jota described as Liverpool’s best finisher.

Indeed, Jermain Defoe said earlier this year that Jota is the best finisher at Anfield ahead of Mohamed Salah.

“I think he is their best finisher. I think Salah shoots and he doesn’t finish if you know what I mean, but with Jota it’s more sort of calculated with his finishing,” Defoe said.

Salah is a fantastic finisher. After all, he’s scored tons of goals for Liverpool, but it does feel as though Jota is much more precise, especially in a one vs one situation.

Jota could have a massive part to play for Liverpool this season, and if the Reds are to be successful this term, the striker may have to stay fit.
