Barcelona and Spain legend Xavi describes the pace of Roma’s Mohamed Salah as “incredible”.
The Egyptian winger joined the Giallorossi from Chelsea this summer, and has since hit 11 goals in Serie A, as well as providing four assists.
Now playing for Al Sadd, Xavi was asked for his opinion on a number of North African players who play in Europe.
“Among the best Arab players who play in Europe are Salah of Roma, [Yacine] Brahimi of Porto and [Sofiane] Feghouli of Valencia,” the playmaker told the New Arab.

“Salah is a very fast player, sometimes his speed is incredible.
“Is he faster than Cristiano Ronaldo? It’s possible. His strength is the speed with which manages to dribble past players.”
