AS Roma manager Luciano Spaletti told Nigeria's coach Samson Siasia to be ware of his Egyptian player Mohamed Salah ahead of the Super Eagles' Africa Cup of Nations home qualifier with Egypt on 25 March.
Roma winger Salah has been in stunning form for the Serie A side this season, bagging a total of 11 league goals so far this season since his move from English Premier League champions Chelsea last summer.
“He is hard to stop at the moment,” Spaletti told Nigerian website Vanguardngr.com
Salah's recent goal-scoring exploits came against against former club Fiorentina, where he enjoyed a fruitful six-month loan stint last season, after bagging a brace in Roma's thumping 4-1 win over the Florence-based side.
Another stunning display from Egypt's ace came in the 2-0 UEFA Champions League last-16 return leg defeat at Real Madrid, where he wreaked havoc down the right flank despite squandering a couple of one-on-one chances.
Third-placed Roma take on Udinese and Inter Milan before Salah joins Egypt for the Nigeria clash, which comes just four days before the West Africans visit the Pharaohs at Alexandria's Borg El-Arab Stadium.
Seven-time African champions Egypt, who have missed out on the Nations Cup since last winning the title in 2010, are currently top of their qualifying Group G – which also includes Tanzania and Chad.
