Liverpool teen Danns: Salah a role model

Liverpool teen Jayden Danns admits he sees senior teammate Mohamed Salah as a role-model.

Danns has enjoyed a major senior breakthrough since the New Year.

On Salah, he told liverpoolfc.com: “He's a role model. He's the man you look to for goals, he's the man you look to for assists.

“Just having him in your team, to be honest, is a big inspiration and for me I've always watched him score and I've always watched him produce and sometimes you think, 'How do you do it so consistently?' He is brilliant to have around the team and as a young player you just look up to him and try to take as much on board as you can possibly get.

“I'd have to ask him [how he does it], but if it was my guess I'd say it's probably the consistency, he's always working hard.

“You see him, he's always getting an ice bath after training, recovering, in training he's working hard, in the gym he's working hard and he's always doing extras. That's the person he is really. I haven't really spoken to him much but when I'm looking from the outer, he's a joke, to be honest!

“To watch him, he is just really inspiring and that's the player I want to become, really: I want to become that consistent and be able to produce the moments that he can so I've just got to work as hard as he does to get there."
