Mohamed Salah’s departure will mark the end of an era, not just for Liverpool, but for the Premier League as a whole. The loss of Mo Salah will shed light on the Premier League talent drain It might sound ridiculous at first to say the quality of talent in the Premier League is on the decline.

Clubs in England did spend more than every other major league combined last summer.Top to bottom, the league has arguably never been stronger, but there’s a credible argument for the quality suffering despite the increase in quantity of high-level arrivals. The obvious caveat here is that players at the end of the career are going to be regarded more highly than young stars with potential, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that many of the marquee signings that are made in the Premier League now don’t sound like worthy replacements.

But with Salah gone, you have to ask, who are the superstar attackers in the Premier League — the players who don’t look out of place in conversations about the best in their position? That’s pretty damning evidence that the quality of the Premier League is declining at the very top.
