Georginio Wijnaldum: 'Mohamed Salah is flying at Liverpool'

Georginio Wijnaldum has talked up new signing Mohamed Salah's instant impact at Liverpool after netting three times already during pre-season.

The Egypt international was brought on board by Jurgen Klopp from Roma last month for a sum that could rise to £44m, potentially making him the Reds' record transfer purchase.

Salah has taken little time to settle into his new surroundings, netting a well-taken lob in the 3-0 friendly win over Hertha Berlin on Saturday afternoon to continue his impressive scoring start since making the big-money move.

Speaking to Liverpool's official website, Wijnaldum said: "He's really flying. I didn't see his goal because I was in the changing room but I heard it was a good goal.

"He has settled in really well. He's not only a great player but also a great person, and that makes it easier for him but also for us to accept him. Since the moment he came here, he felt free to be himself. It's a good thing for us."

Wijnaldum and Dominic Solanke were also on target at the Olympiastadion, as Liverpool made it three wins and a draw from their five friendly fixtures.
