Cameroon striker Vincent Aboubakar has come under heavy criticism after he once again claimed he was just as good as Liverpool star Mohamed Salah.
The ex-Porto and Besiktas player, who currently turns out for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, stated he would be as productive for the Premier League outfit as the Egypt international if given a chance to prove his worth.
“I'm not impressed by him. I can do what he does. I just don't have the opportunity to play in a big club. I understand people's attitudes, he's one of the best goalscorers in the Premier League," Aboubakar said.
"It makes sense that when you go on about a player like that, people will talk. But I did say that it was my opinion, my point of view. I don't give a toss if people don't like it.”
His comments have elicited debate on social media with a section of fans claiming the 30-year-old Aboubakar is just jealous of what Salah has achieved, while others said Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen is also better than him.
This guy is just jealous. He had an opportunity at FC Porto but couldn't do anything. He keeps ranting while Salah creates records and legacies. Please Aboubakar go to bed... Salah is miles ahead of you. - mercy_paris7
He worked hard to be seen by Liverpool in the first place. It's jealousy that's making you talk like this. All the African players playing in big clubs started from small clubs before they were bought by the big clubs!!!🤡🤡🤡🤡 - CT Christophoros
Liverpool always beat his Porto team... I can see the jealousy. - Adeleke Adedayo Damilare

Salah did not wake up one day and found himself there, he worked for it bro Aboubakar you can't even fit in Yanga of Tanzania squad. - Kingbet Fixed

Who’s this guy please? Salah is known worldwide. What about him? i don't even know his full names🙄🙄 - Halifa Dalhatu
Aboubakar is right, if you compare these two when they were in small clubs, Aboubakar was far better than Salah. Salah became a world class star when he joined Liverpool. Big teams play a very big role in footballers careers because they have world class players.
If Aboubakar has a bigger platform, he will definitely do better than Salah. Afcon is the best way to compare these two. Salah is not better than Aboubakar when it comes to Afcon... - Le Père Yanko II
Aboubakar is right. People must always complain. He can do better than Salah. - Barsharl Sapatu
