"Is Salah the best player in the world? Not yet," Thierry Henry has told the media, as per the Daily Star.
"The goals that he is scoring, at the moment, are very good. But how can you forget about Lewandowski? How can you forget about Benzema? How can you forget doing it at the national level also?
"Right now, he's suffering a bit with Egypt. It's not easy. But he's not doing it there yet. But those goals are ridiculous. I love Salah. But he's not yet the best.
"Is he the best player right now in the Premier League? By a distance. On current form are you not putting Benzema there right now, with the way he is playing? What he is doing for France and at the Euros? It's not that clear, for me," the legendary Frenchman concluded.
Mohamed Salah has started the season in style, netting 12 goals and providing 4 assists in just 11 games across all competitions.
Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema have recorded more goal contributions each this season, though. Lewandowski has got 17 (16 goals plus one assist for Bayern Munich), Benzema has got 19 (11 goals, 9 assists for Real Madrid).
