Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has paid tribute to Mohamed Salah after the 33-year-old announced his exit at the end of the season. The 58-year-old lauded the forward as the trophy-laden chapter at the Reds draws to a close ahead of his move in the summer.

The German hailed Salah for his record-breaking career at Anfield and called for Liverpool supporters to give the Egyptian the send off he deserves at the end of the season. The forward will leave Liverpool at the end of the campaign, with this final Premier League outing for the Reds coming at home to Brentford on May 24.

Speaking to The Anfield Wrap, he said: "I hope he can have a successful rest of the season. We text last night but I really hope he enjoys the rest of the season, but I know Mo can only enjoy it if you win football matches and he scores.

"I really hope that on the last matchday, you all will have a smile on your face, be happy and thankful that one of the most incredible careers that we will ever be apart of. Where he came from, what he went through and what he gave us, incredible. When you work with him, the bigger view is just ridiculous, unmatched numbers, we may sit here in 10 years, maybe Ekitike (breaks his record) but it will be difficult.

"One of the all time greats leaves the club in the summer, lets see where he will show up next."
