Jamie Carragher has declared Mohamed Salah the Premier League's greatest overseas player after Thierry Henry, saying the Egyptian's departure marks 'the end of an extraordinary era' for Liverpool. The Sky Sports pundit revealed Salah will leave Anfield at season's end after the club agreed to let him go a year early from his contract.

Carragher argues Salah has surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo's Premier League legacy, citing his unmatched consistency with 189 goals and 92 assists since joining from Roma for £34m in 2017. 'No player has produced the same devastating numbers as consistently, season-after-season,' Carragher wrote, placing Salah ahead of legends like Eden Hazard, Gianfranco Zola, and Dennis Bergkamp in the pantheon of overseas greats.

At 33, Salah leaves as Liverpool's third-highest scorer and one of their most decorated players, winning the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup. Carragher believes Salah should rank among Liverpool's all-time greats, placing him immediately after legends like Steven Gerrard and Kenny Dalglish in his personal top-10. The former defender credits Salah's availability and competitive spirit as marks of true greatness.
