Salah could be handed major Liverpool responsibility

English reports claimed on Saturday that Egyptian star Mohamed Salah could the Reds' captain if Georginio Wijnaldum moves to Paris Saint-Germain in the next season.

Wijnaldum is the fourth captain for the Reds under the leadership of German coach Jurgen Klopp after Jordan Henderson, James Milner, and Virgil van Dijk.

If the Dutch player completes his deal with the French man, Klopp will have no option except appointing a new fourth captain and Mo Salah will be the closest one to take this responsibility, according to Liverpoolecho.com.

"But if Klopp is looking for a player who would most relish the opportunity to grow further into a Liverpool leader, he need look no further than Mohamed Salah," it reported.

"Salah is someone who counts himself in that latter bracket; the responsibilities of the captain matter to him. So much so that he wears it for his national side with abundant pride as the poster-boy for football in Egypt."

“Honestly, I was very disappointed," Salah admitted after Alexander-Arnold was given the duty ahead of him for a Champions League dead-rubber in Midtjylland back in December.

"I was hoping to be the captain, but it’s a coach’s decision. I accept it."
