According to Ange Postecoglou, Mohamed Salah would not be able to replicate his Liverpool goal-scoring prowess if he were to join Tottenham.

The Spurs manager acknowledged that his team is having trouble serving their attackers and feels that Salah depends on his teammates being in form.
His remarks are made prior to Wednesday night’s first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals, which they will play at home against Liverpool.
The Premier League’s top two scorers square off in this matchup, and Salah, who leads with 18 goals, will be looking to score a lot against an uncertain defense.
‘Mo is a world-class player, but if you put him in our team at the moment I’m not sure he would have the same impact because of the situation we’re in as a group,’ said Postecoglou.
‘His attacking play, who do you need? You need a team that’s kind of in good form, creating opportunities, playing on the front foot, having a really solid foundation of a defence that is cohesive. None of these things exist at the moment.’
Just in time for Christmas, the matchup between Spurs and Liverpool in December gave supporters a genuine feast of goals.
Liverpool won 6-3, including two goals from Salah, reports Daily Mail.
