"I can't see him stopping, that’s just his nature. You need to have this desire to score goals," the Liverpool coach said to Sky Sports. "People often forget how many goals he also sets up. He is very often involved.
"When he sits in a studio in a few years as a pundit, everybody will know how good he was when we were all watching him. A lot of people don’t appreciate players when they are still playing. For us, it’s clear. He is an all-time great."
Klopp added: "If everybody needs proof that Mohamed Salah is special, I don't know. That is not the case for anybody at Liverpool. He is one of the all time greats. Now he is just a world class player with a desire to score goals. He works hard to close players down. We all know that some world class players don't have to do that or don't do it, but he has to and he is. I'm really proud of him."
