Mohamed Salah signs new deal with Liverpool

As it had been widely reported a day earlier, Mohamed Salah has agreed to a fresh two-year deal with the Premier League table-toppers Liverpool on Friday, extending his stay at the top-flight club.

“Of course I’m very excited. We have a great team now. Before also we had a great team. But I signed because I think we have a chance to win other trophies," Salah was quoted as saying in a statement issued by the English club.

At 32, Salah has netted 243 goals across 394 matches for Liverpool since his transfer from Roma in 2017, securing his position as the club's third-highest scorer in history.

During his stint at Anfield, the Egyptian international has secured both Champions League and Premier League honours, while currently leading Liverpool towards potentially matching the record of 20 English top-flight championships.

“It’s great, I had my best years here. I played eight years, hopefully it’s going to be 10. Enjoying my life here, enjoying my football," the Egypt international added.

In the ongoing Premier League campaign, Salah has contributed 27 goals and set up 17 more, helping Arne Slot's team establish an 11-point advantage with seven fixtures left to play.
