Said Benrahma says Liverpool star Mo Salah and Jack Grealish are his toughest opponents
West Ham winger, Said Benrahma, has picked out Liverpool star Mo Salah as one of the very best players in the Premier League.
The Algerian winger was doing a Q&A session on the Hammers’ page. Benrahma, who was signed from Brentford in the summer, answered a number of questions before things turned to the players he’d faced.
And when asked who the best player he has faced in the Premier League was, Benrahma selected Salah alongside England and Aston Villa ace, Jack Grealish.
“This year I would say Jack Grealish is the best player I have faced,” Benrahma said.
“Grealish I’d say (is the best I’ve faced) or Mo Salah. I think that this year Grealish is a player I thought was good and very strong. And Salah when we played against them (Liverpool) recently he scored in both games. Honestly, he’s very good you know. Everything he does is efficient.”
It’s not the first time Salah has been lauded for his performances. The Egyptian is consistently in the top scorers and teams of the year with Liverpool, and he once again leads the PL scoring charts this year.
Benrahma, who will also have come up against Salah at international level, hasn’t quite hit the heights he might have wanted himself since arriving at West Ham. However, he has played a key role in pushing the Hammers towards the top four.
TBR View: Salah and Grealish both class acts
Salah’s not even having his best season and yet he’s still being selected by his fellow pros. That shows just how good he is, which is pretty frightening given he’s clearly not at his very best.
The Liverpool man seems to be making noises about potentially leaving. His loss would be massive for the club and they should do all they can to keep him.
