Game style
Salah is rated as a fast, mobile and hard-working player, known for his calm finishing, agility and dribbling skills. He mainly plays as a winger on the right, but can also play as an attacking midfielder or as a second striker. After joining Liverpool, he became a more advanced center forward, often serving as the main striker, which increased his threat in front of goal. Salah started his career as a left-back. But since he joined Liverpool, he has been moved up front due to his passion for scoring goals and tears from missing several obvious chances.
