A world-class striker would see the Reds claim a killer edge. "Liverpool have a strong squad with a lot of quality players, but if they want to reach the very top again — especially in Europe — they need to reinforce in key areas," Petit told .

"They've signed quite a few strikers in recent years, but I still feel they’re missing that one world-class striker who can guarantee 30 goals a season. That kind of clinical forward makes all the difference when you reach the final stages of major competitions.

“They also need to strengthen defensively, especially in terms of squad rotation, and perhaps add some depth in midfield too. If they can bring in three or four top players across the pitch, I believe Liverpool will take a big step forward. We saw it against Paris Saint-Germain — there’s quality, but maybe not that killer edge up front.”

Petit did not want to undersell Salah's contributions to Liverpool, however. The Egyptian has produced the best season of his career this far under Slot to cement a legendary legacy.

"Mohamed Salah is without doubt one of the best players in Premier League history," said Petit. "Whether he’s the best is hard to say — we’ve seen so many incredible players over the years. But I have so much respect for what Salah brings, not just on the pitch, but off it as well.

“Salah is humble, he’s a leader, and he carries himself with real dignity. His interaction with teammates, referees, and fans — it’s all first class. I would have loved to play alongside someone like him.

“Of course, players like Kevin De Bruyne are also in that conversation for the modern era. And sometimes, when you're caught up in the present, people forget the legends of the past. But Salah will definitely be remembered as one of the greats."
