Jurgen Klopp believes Mohamed Salah will only keep improving for Liverpool.
Salah broke Thierry Henry’s record for the most goals by a Premier League player in European competitions by scoring in Thursday’s rout over Toulouse.
The Egyptian continues to be linked with a money-spinning move to the Saudi Pro League despite Anfield chiefs flatly rejecting those overtures last summer.
And Klopp is confident that Salah, 31, will surpass his current feats with the Reds due to a relentless work ethic and commitment to peak physical fitness.
He said: “Mo doesn’t behave like [he is 31] at all.
“Off the pitch he behaves, he is a grown man, beyond that he is still a young player.
“He is top fit I think if we were to scan him the majority of the bones are aged 19 or 20! He just keeps himself in such good shape.
“It is to do with game understanding. That is what we try to give young players. They all know an awful lot about football when they finish their careers at the age of 35.
“But the earlier in their career you get this information the more useful they are.
“Obviously with Mo it is clear he understands the spaces much better, he knows how players react around him and then if he cannot score, he can still be a threat for us. That is really super important.
“He has been the man for us for a long time now,” added the Liverpool manager.
“But he is growing in the role he has for us in football and maybe in general to show that on top level it is nice to enjoy the moment and then you go again.
“That is what he is obviously doing. He scored a wonderful goal, a really good goal, I didn’t know about the record and maybe he would have broken a few more if I was into that.
“He is such a good player we appreciate him and everyone will appreciate him even more after his career because then you will say: ‘Wow, we saw something really special’.”
