Former Premier League striker Mido has backed up his previous claim that Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is 'ten times' better than Raheem Sterling, while also touting his countryman for a future move to Real Madrid.

The 34-year-old journeyman took to Twitter to air his view that his compatriot is the real deal, and to remind people of his claims from three years ago.

Salah has made a blistering return to the Premier League in the red of Liverpool, scoring nine league goals and making two assists so far.

The 25-year-old joined the Anfield club for a club-record fee this summer from Roma after a devastatingly productive campaign in Serie A.
