There are not many wingers better than Mohamed Salah in the history of the Premier League.
Having experienced a difficult spell at Chelsea when he first arrived on English shores, a move to Liverpool in 2018 has transformed the legacy of the Egyptian superstar.
Salah has become one of the best players in the world across the 394 games he has featured in for the Merseyside club, producing 243 goals and 111 assists, while winning every trophy possible at Anfield.
Liverpool tied Salah down to a new contract on Friday and the winger will continue to add to his legacy in the Premier League over the next two years.
Chelsea’s Pedro Neto is a player who would like to follow in the Liverpool star’s footsteps and the Portuguese star has been ranking the best wingers in the Premier League.
Pedro Neto considers Mohamed Salah a Premier League great
Liverpool showed interest in Neto last summer before the winger moved to Chelsea, where the 25-year-old has become a key player for Enzo Maresca.
Jamie Carragher wished Liverpool had signed Neto as the Blues forward could have been a long-term replacement for Salah, but having penned a new deal at Anfield, that is an issue the Merseyside club will worry about further down the line.
Speaking on Sky Sports’ Saturday Social, the Egyptian is a player Neto rates highly as the Portuguese star ranked him as the best winger in the Premier League when asked to do so.
“I don’t watch them a lot, but I know them all,” Neto stated. “I’ll go with Salah, for the way that he decides the game as well. Then I’ll go, difficult one this one, like this (places Saka in second ahead of Son).”
When asked if Salah is one of the greatest players in Premier League history, Neto said: “I would think so, yes. For the stats that he has as well. The way he impacts the game and the way he has been doing it in the Premier League, I think so yeah.”
When it comes to praise, Neto could not leave out Tottenham’s Son Heung-min as the South Korean has had an impressive Premier League career of his own.
“I like the way that he plays, his skills that he has, he can play with both feet,” the Chelsea star said about Son. “He can play as a nine and on the wing, he is a very skillful player, and he has had a big impact on Tottenham.”

Where does Mohamed Salah rank among the Premier League’s greatest wingers
When it comes to the best wingers in the history of the Premier League, names such as Ryan Giggs, Eden Hazard and David Beckham come to mind.
Although the game was different when all of these players played, there is a strong case that Salah is the best winger the Premier League has ever seen.
| Player | Games (All competitions) | Goals | Assists |
| Mohamed Salah | 413 | 245 | 114 |
| Ryan Giggs | 963 | 168 | 268 |
| Eden Hazard | 352 | 110 | 85 |
| David Beckham | 394 | 85 | 121 |
Only Giggs has more assists than the Egyptian throughout his career, however, the former Man United star has played 550 more games than the Liverpool talent with a Premier League club.
The Welshman also played with the best team in England for the majority of his career, which has not been the case when it comes to Salah.
Even if there is some doubt, the next two years at Anfield could swing it more in Salah’s favour as the 32-year-old continues to do magical things on English soil.
