Jermaine Pennant has defended Mohamed Salah after the Liverpool forward issued a bombshell social media statement on Saturday.
Salah, 33, who confirmed in late-March that he will leave the Reds at the end of the season, launched a brutal attack on the club and appeared to take aim at Arne Slot following his side’s 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa on Friday.
“What Mo Salah has said, every single fan feels the same way and would say the same thing,” he said on talkSPORT.
“Mo Salah, there’s no player bigger than the club, but there’s a player bigger than the manager and, unfortunately, Mo Salah has been at Liverpool a lot longer than Arne Slot. Mo Salah’s won more things at Liverpool than Arne Slot. So, he has every single right.
“He’s a legend for Liverpool, he single-handedly almost won the league last season, so he has every right to come out and say this is not good enough, this is not what Liverpool’s DNA is, he has every single right and that’s not throwing Arne Slot under the bus, he’s stating the obvious.”
