Aston Villa's midfielder Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet has praised Liverpool's star Mohamed Salah, ahead of their clash in the Premier League.

He said that his relationship with Salah is very strong as he always talks to him.

"He always used to talk to me, and he would tell me that I should come here," Trezeguet during an interview with Aston Villa's official website.

"We always talk together, when I was about to come to England I had other offers that were more significant, not in terms of the league, but more attractive financially," he added.

Trezeguet also stressed the importance of Salah's existence with the national team and Liverpool, saying that he could end the game for his side and secure the victory anytime.

"You must always be on your guard with him because he is a good finisher in games. There are players like this, and during the game, we must pay close attention to them, and make sure they are tightly marked throughout the game," he said.

Trezeguet hailed Salah saying: “Salah is a great player and when his club or country needs him in games this is where he repays the trust they place in him.”

The Egyptian midfielder also hailed Salah's personality and character.

"He is just like any other squad member of the national team. He does not make us feel that he is the second or third-best player in the world," the 25-year-old midfielder said.

“His personality is great, and we are proud of him in Egypt. I wish him success, always" Trezeguet added.

He also moved to talk about his club, stressing out that Aston Villa is a big team.

"Aston Villa is a big team in the world, Middle East and everywhere else. It is my big dream to play in the Premier League with Aston Villa," the Egyptian international affirmed.

Trezeguet joined Aston Villa on July, 24  from Turkey’s Kasimpasa in a deal worth up to £8.75 million.
