Premier League defenders are finding it impossible to stop the 25-year-old, but former Premier League defender Campbell thinks he has the answer.

''You’ve got to have good anticipation against him, if you haven’t he will just do you, he’ll set you up. Also I think you’ve got to go out to him quicker, don’t let him build up a pace to turn you inside out at that pace.

''If you get out to him quick enough, you can kind of slow him down a bit before he comes to you in the box. Once he’s in the box, he’s the master.''

It seems that Salah is unstoppable this season, with clubs up and down the country struggling to stop him and has wand of a left foot. Premier League managers may want to take note of sol Campbell's advice, who has played against his fair share of superstars.
