Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has slammed Mohamed Salah for expressing his concern for the civilian population in Gaza.
"I don't particularly like certain things about him, things he said recently about conflicts and altercations in other countries where he's popped up," Jordan said on Talksport about the Liverpool forward.
"It's been something about a particular ethnicity he has a belief in."
After the beginning of the Israeli–Palestinian war in October, the Egyptian released a statement on social media calling for humanitarian aid to be allowed into Gaza.
Jordan went on to say that Salah is overrated and is being carried by his teammates. He added: "I don't think he's as good as people make him out to be. I think he dives, I think he can be a fair weather player.
"I know this will sound ridiculous to people and will make me incredibly unpopular by saying it, obviously he's scored lots of goals, but when the going gets tough some people stand up and fight and some people don't.
“I get this feeling that Salah can be one of those. It’s an opinion.”
