Liverpool legend John Aldridge believes that in-form Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero can propel star forward Mohamed Salah back to form in the race for the Golden Boot in the Premier League.
In a chat with Liverpool Echo, Aldridge revealed that Aguero can serve as the springboard for Mohamed Salah to return to form.
Egyptian international Salah has been heavily criticised in some quarters in the wake of his barren run in front of goal.
The former Chelsea and Fiorentina star has not found the back of the net in his four games for Liverpool in all competitions.
In contrast, Sergio Aguero has scored 11 goals in his last nine games for Manchester City in all competitions.
Aguero has usurped Salah at the top of the goalscorers’ chart in the Premier League.
The Argentine striker has scored 18 goals in the league ahead of Salah (17 goals) and the duo of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Harry Kane (16 goals).
Liverpool and Salah would be hoping that the Egyptian player can return to form when the Reds entertain Burnley at home on Sunday afternoon as they continue their quest to win the Premier League title for the first time in their illustrious history.
They have a one-point deficit to make up at the top of the Premier League table.
