Ex-Arsenal and Liverpool star Anelka: Mo Salah and Sadio Mane are good enough for Real Madrid.

Attacking pair Salah and Mane have been key to Jurgen Klopp's Reds over the years and helped the Merseyside club clinch their first ever Premier League title.

Nicolas Anelka has heaped praise on Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, adding that they are both good enough to play for LaLiga champions Real Madrid.

Despite saying they are good enough to play for Los Blancos the Frenchman has urged the pair to remain with Premier League champions Liverpool and ignore advances from any other side.

Salah has scored 19 times in the Premier League and supplied nine assists, while Mane has 17 goals and seven assists.

"It's an amazing front three," Anelka told the Liverpool Echo.

"I love them all, especially Roberto Firmino because he is the key for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane's success.

"Salah and Mane are ranking in the top five best players in the world right now. They have the quality to play for Real Madrid.

"But today Liverpool can compete with Real Madrid so they don't need to move. Liverpool is very much the place to be."

The former Arsenal and Liverpool striker Anelka added: "Jurgen Klopp is a genius.

"I love his work, the way he is with his players and the players he has signed. They're top-class players.

"They'll be competitive for many years. Klopp has brought the club back to where it deserves."
