Former England striker Emile Heskey believes Liverpool star Mohamed Salah would thrive more if he decided to join the Saudi League.
At 33, Salah remains an influential figure under Arne Slot, but his output has dipped compared to the relentless standards he previously set.
Heskey, speaking to OLBG, addressed suggestions that the forward could still attract interest from Europe’s elite.

“Could Mohamed Salah move to a Barcelona, a Real Madrid or a Bayern Munich instead of the Saudi Pro League? Everyone would love to see him to go those places, and I’m sure he would as well but you take what’s there and in front of you,” Heskye told OLBG.
“If that is Salah’s route well we’ve seen Cristiano Ronaldo still scoring goals out there. You see Ivan Toney still scoring goals. Sadio Mane’s out there. There’s no reason why you can’t do it in Saudi Arabia and still be producing on an international level as well.
“It’s whatever suits him to be honest with you because once you’ve done what he’s done as fans we’ve just got to accept what he decides. We accept, and we love him for what he’s done because when you look at the numbers that he’s produced, no one can say anything.”
