Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko has named Liverpool star Mohamed Salah as his toughest opponent in the Premier League.

Speaking to the Premier League’s official YouTube channel, the Ukrainian international was asked about the hardest player he has faced in the league, with Zinchenko answering with Salah.

The former Manchester City superstar said about the Liverpool winger:  “I would say Mo Salah, pace, power, an explosive player, he is so dangerous.”

With Salah one of the most productive attackers the Premier League has ever seen, it is perhaps no surprise that Zinchenko named the Liverpool winger as his most feared opponent.

The duo have met plenty of times in the last six years in fixtures that have gone on to defy a Premier League title race, with Zinchenko winning England’s top prize four times.

Indeed, the 26-year-old knows a thing or two about facing the world’s best, and it’s no surprise that Salah features among Zinchenko’s top honours for such a title.

Zinchenko could already be fearing Salah ahead of Liverpool trip

With Arsenal travelling up to Liverpool before Christmas, the fixture could already be viewed as a potential title decider given how good the two sides have started off the season.

And for Zinchenko, the fullback could be fearing having to face up against Salah, with all signs suggesting that Liverpool will dominate the Gunners at Anfield.

With the Egyptian winger having a good record against the Gunners, it could be another game to forget for Zinchenko, who might struggle on Merseyside yet again.
