Liverpool player says there's an 'OUTSTANDING' youngster at the club who is better than Mo Salah

One Liverpool player has described one of the club’s talented youngsters as “outstanding” - even better than star player Mohamed Salah.

There are few who can compare to the Egyptian in world football, let alone Liverpool.

However, according to one current Liverpool player, there is a player at the club who surpasses even Salah when it comes to one ability in particular.

Speaking to Scottish newspaper the Daily Record, on-loan Reds player Luca Stephenson spoke at length about one of Liverpool’s most exciting young talents, winger Ben Doak.

Currently, the Scotsman is enjoying his brilliant form on loan at Middlesbrough and has also started to break into the Scottish national team.

And he is very clearly catching the attention of his Liverpool teammates as well.

Why Ben Doak is already better at something than Mohamed Salah

Stephenson has explained that he thinks Doak is already better than Mohamed Salah and the rest of the Liverpool first team at his one vs one ability.

“In all honesty I've not seen anybody I've played against or played with have kind of that one-v-one talent that he's got. That's talking about first team players at Liverpool in terms of one-v-one taking players on. I genuinely don't think there's anybody as good as him in that kind of sense.

“He beats you and you've just got to hope for a bad cross or a bad ball to pull you out of things. He's at Middlesbrough this year and I think that will do him the world of good. He's got a very good career in the game I'm sure.”

It’s quite the statement from Stephenson, who came through the ranks with Doak and finds himself in Scotland now, on loan at Dundee United. Current Reds star Andy Robertson is a former Dundee player, and Stephenson spoke about how much he helped out with the move.

“I spoke to him a little bit when I knew I was coming up here. He told me how much I'd love it and looked to speak to some of the staff who were still here from when he was playing so that was good.”

Stephenson has enjoyed a decent time of it so far during this loan spell, including scoring his first professional goal in a 2-0 win over St. Johnstone in August.
