Egypt bank on Mohamed Salah

CAIRO. – Egypt coach Hector Cuper is hoping star striker Mohamed Salah can transfer the stellar form he’s shown for Liverpool this season to the national soccer side at the World Cup in Russia. Salah, the English Premier League and African player of the year, became a national hero over the leading role he played in helping Egypt qualify for their first World Cup finals in 28 years.

“We hope that he will exploit the progress he’s made as a striker at Liverpool,” said Cuper on Monday.
On Sunday, Salah set a new single-season Premier League scoring record after notching his 32nd goal of the season for Liverpool, surpassing the old mark of 31 goals he had shared with Alan Shearer, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez. – AFP.
