Arsenal is reportedly showing interest in a player named Salah, raising the question of whether he could be as lethal as Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
The Liverpool star is widely regarded as one of the best footballers globally and has secured major trophies in club football. Arsenal, in the midst of a team rebuilding phase, is in search of a standout player of Salah’s calibre to strengthen their squad.
Recent reports link Arsenal to Rennes youngster Ibrahim Salah, a 22-year-old Moroccan youth international. Scouts across Europe have identified him as one of the most promising talents in Ligue 1.
According to Sport Le360, Arsenal is among several clubs keeping a close eye on Salah, recognising his potential. The Gunners believe he has the qualities to develop into a world-class player and will monitor his progress in the coming months. If he fulfils their expectations, Arsenal may make a move for his signature in the near future.
“Named after” Mo Salah? No, Mo Salah was 9 years old when Ibrahim Salah was born. They just have the same surname, one of the most common in the middle East and North Africa. Like Smith or Jones in the UK. Was Ben White named after Betty White as well?
Nah! Ben was named after Snow.
And Declan was named after Parboiled?
My current favourite watching the games is when Ben White plays the ball to Declan Rice and the commentators here (I live in Argentina) say White-Rice without flinching. All we need now is a player with the surname “Plain” and we’re good to go.
How about a Saka-Rice?
Saka-white-rice surely! Hasn’t even noticed that. I’ll be listening for that in the game today.
Yeah, that works even better.
