Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said Mohamed Salah was "on his way" to being mentioned in the same breath as Lionel Messi after he scored four goals against Watford on Saturday.
Salah is now the leading goalscorer in Europe's top five leagues - overtaking Barcelona's Messi and Tottenham striker Harry Kane.
But according to Klopp, the 25-year-old Egyptian is focused on his own game.
"I don't think Mo wants to be compared with Lionel Messi," he said.
"Messi has been doing what he's been doing for what feels like 20 years or so.
"The last player I know who had the same influence on a team performance was Diego Maradona.
"But Mo is in a fantastic way, that's for sure. As it always is in life, if you have to have the skills you have to show that constantly and consistently, and he is very good."
