Liverpool’s young Egyptian talent is turning heads with his impressive performances.
At just 18 years old, Kareem Ahmed is already being compared to Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s third all-time top goalscorer.
Ahmed began developing at Liverpool’s academy when he was just six years old, and over time, his progress has continued steadily.
Despite his young age, Ahmed has already earned the right to represent Egypt at the U20 international level.
Seen as one of the future stars of Egyptian football, he plays as an attacking midfielder, unlike Salah who operates primarily as a winger. Known for his vision and creativity, Ahmed is capable of delivering key passes and assisting in goalscoring opportunities.
This season, he has averaged 0.84 goal contributions per 90 minutes for Liverpool’s U18 team — an impressive stat given the team’s overall struggles.
In his most recent match, the promising youngster registered a hat-trick of assists, further strengthening the belief that he could one day follow in Salah’s footsteps.
While Ahmed clearly has the potential to become Liverpool’s next Egyptian star, his long-term success will ultimately depend on maintaining consistency and continuing to grow as a player.
