‘I’m not Mo Salah’ – Barcola rejects comparisons with Liverpool legend

Liverpool winger Bradley Barcola has dismissed comparisons with club legend Mohamed Salah, insisting he feels no pressure and intends to forge his own legacy at Anfield. The 24-year-old French forward, who signed permanently from Paris Saint-Germain for a reported £123 million fee in the summer transfer window, stated that living up to Salah's legacy or the transfer fee is not an issue for him.

Barcola acknowledged that he has not yet displayed his best form since arriving, having scored a Champions League hat-trick against LASK but remaining goalless in the Premier League. Reflecting on a recent loss to Arsenal that left manager Andoni Iraola's side nine points off the top, Barcola urged the team to control possession better rather than resorting to long balls.
