LIVERPOOL star Mohamed Salah has been highly praised by Roma legend Francesco Totti.
The Egypt international is having a stunning season for the Merseyside outfit.
Since arriving from Roma in the summer for around £38m, the 25-year-old has netted 30 times in just 36 games.
Italian legend Totti made 786 appearances for the Serie A outfit, including a few dozen games alongside Salah.
He has heaped praise on the Liverpool forward while warning opposing teams that his best is yet to come.
“The level he is playing at at the moment, he is one of the best players in the world - and I think he can and will get even better," said Totti.
“I know him well, he is a good friend and wants to keep improving, to keep getting better as a player.

“He is one of those players who can make the difference in the big games," added Totti.
