James Milner is delighted to see Mohamed Salah make such an impressive start to life back in the Premier League with Liverpool after a stint in Serie A.

Liverpool midfielder James Milner has praised Mohamed Salah for making such an impressive start to life back in the Premier League after a stint overseas.

The Egypt international was given little opportunity to flourish at Chelsea but impressed in Italy with Fiorentina and Roma before signing for the Reds this summer.

Salah has hit the ground running at Anfield with 17 goals and four assists in just 21 games in all competitions, and Milner was quick to pay credit to his teammate.

"I am pleasantly surprised at how well he has done so quickly, I know what a good player he is," Milner told Sky Sports News.

"But changing leagues - I know he has been here before, but the leagues are different, the football is different, the life is different, you are moving your family and settling in.

"So it is a big change for anyone to do that and for him to hit the ground running like he has and played as well as he has and scored the goals, that is credit to him."

Salah has become the fastest Liverpool player to score 14 goals for the club and has also helped Egypt to their first World Cup since 1990 by reaching next year's finals in Russia.
