Former Liverpool star says Salah is not Africa's GOAT, names Drogba and ex-Chelsea striker as the best

Salah has had a tremendous career for Egypt, having been their best player for the last few years.

The 32-year-old took his team to two AFCON finals in 2017 and 2021 but had to settle for the runner-up position.

Despite Salah’s efforts, Senegalese legend El Hadji Diouf insists that he is not the best forward in Africa.

El Hadji Diouf has given his verdict on who he considers to be the best forward Africa has ever produced.

According to ESPN Africa, Diouf said, “Don’t forget we used to have Samuel Etoo, we used to have Roger Miller and I think Mo Salah has done well but the top scorer of Africa is still Samuel Etoo and Didier Drogba.”

The two-time African Best Player claimed that Mo Salah is not the best forward in Africa but thinks he has done well.

Salah has an outstanding record in Africa, having recorded 103 appearances and scored 59 goals for Egypt.

The Liverpool star also won the CAF African Best Player of the Year twice in his peak career in 2017 and 2018.

Meanwhile, Salah got his name on the scoresheet for Liverpool in the Reds 2-1 win over Chelsea at Anfield last weekend.
