Salah Is Not World Class – Aiyegbeni Names Six Best African Players by verybadmouth(m): 2:52pm On Feb 25
Former Super Eagles striker, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, has claimed that Liverpool winger Mohammed Salah is not world class.

Aiyegbeni ranks fifth on the list of African footballers with the most Premier League goals.

Salah is ahead of the Nigerian with 154 goals in 252 appearances.

However, Aiyegbeni has listed players like Didier Drogba, Yaya Toure, Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha and Sadio Mane as better than Salah.

“Salah is not world-class in my opinion. He is not good with the ball, and the majority of his goals are lucky goals.

“The greatest African players in the Premier League are Okocha, Drogba, Kanu, Yaya Toure, Emmanuel Adebayor and Sadio Mane,” Yakubu said on Talksport in quotes revealed via Football Factly.

Well that's his opinion. He has a right too. But hope when an Arab player makes his own opinion nobody go shout racism

A player that will dribble the whole field, even dribble the goal post and at the end have zero trophies is world class, while the player that achieves things with his talent is not world class, shocked, Ayegbeni should change his supplier cheesy

He has a point (except Adebayor and Jay-Jay on that list. Okocha na pure sentiments grin) A player will always succeed in a good team. And Liverpool is phenomenal.

I've always wondered why didn't Salah shine at Chelsea, Fiorentina and Roma? He's not so good with Egypt too. Salah is good but.....

Drogba, Kanu, Yaya all individually brilliant players won multiple trophies. Kanu even won an FA Cup with Portsmouth a low ranked club. They have done well for their countries too. Mane won the AFCON over Salah

Maybe it's just me but I felt Mane leaving exposed Salah.

Blacks are the worst racists. I have noticed a lot of black African players always hating and underrating Salah just because he is an Egyptian. Well Mr. aiyegbeni, the stats don't lie. Salah is the best African to ever feature in the premier league.

Remove Okocha from the list please, he has nothing to show for it, Salah is better than all your list combined because he’s still playing in the PL

Ogbeni called Aiyebeni should park well. He's a qualified wrestler not a footballer.
Even Buhari plays football more than him

Yak stop this, Salah is at least better than Adebayo and as for world class thingy, it doesn't get better than Salah to be one.

Jealousy and envy.

Mr. Aiyegbeni, even Monday Odiaka in the days was better than him. Always missing clear chances.

Mentioning Adebayor in his list shows that Aiyegbeni does not understand the word “world class”.

Which kind talk be that. Okocha weh de dribble one place, hardly make it to double figure in assist and goals . kanu was laid aside by teenage Henry barely feature much in a side of beckamp, henry, wiltord and yet by ur analysis they are both world class because you say so..


Salah numbers are insane. His level of consistency is just at another level.. certainly one of the best have seen in recent season..always among top scorer in every season..what matrix you de use to make analysis? Na only Yaya tou're and drogba at the peek of their powers in epl be world class. Kanu maybe at ajax. But after heart surgery kanu. Nothing much abeg.
