Mohamed Salah was given a hero's welcome after touching down in Turkey before his official unveiling as a new Trabzonspor player, but Jamie Carragher thinks he's made a mistakeMohamed Salah is "too good" to be playing for Trabzonspor and should have stayed in a top European league after leaving Liverpool, according to Jamie Carragher.

Turkey for me feels a level too low," he told the Football Ramble."I was convinced he'd end up at an AC Milan or Juventus or somewhere like that, maybe his wages were a problem.

Looking at him, I don't know him, obviously have never spoken to him."But he's like Ronaldo, he's so driven, his numbers mean so much to him. I thought, he can still do this in Turkey by the way, but I thought he'd want to play at a real prestigious club."Salah's wages were always likely to be a barrier for interested clubs and it seems the Egyptian was an unrealistic signing for many big clubs.
