Former Egyptian international Ahmed Hossam Mido believes that his compatriot Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool FC player, is better than Moroccan Achraf Hakimi, the Paris Saint-Germain full-back.
Speaking on the "Rokna" program about the best Arab player, Mido said: "I am better than Salem Al-Dawsari, Omar Al-Somah, Mohamed Aboutrika, and Shikabala because I tested myself at a level they haven't experienced. This is not arrogance, but I chose the difficult path."
He continued: "Riyad Mahrez is better than me, and Mohamed Salah is better than Mahrez," adding, "Salah or Hakimi? Salah."
