The pundit also praised Salah for his positive traits

Salah, 31, initially refused to shake Klopp’s hand as he prepared to come on as a substitute, leading the pair to exchange fiery words on the touchline.

Souness claims Salah is often unhappy about being substituted or starting on the bench – a trait he believes is good to have.

But he also accused the Egyptian of being selfish, recalling his several fallouts with former Reds star Sadio Mane.

Souness said on the Up Front podcast: “Forget the weekend, prior to that whenever he’s been taken off he’s never been happy.

“That’s what you want from your players, he’s a goal machine. And when [Sadio] Mane was there he would fall out with him every game they played together.

“I think he’s the most selfish player I’ve ever witnessed, Salah.”

Salah’s future is uncertain amid interest from Saudi Arabia, with bids likely to be launched this summer.

Liverpool are even preparing potential replacements for Salah, who has scored 24 goals this season.
