Salah signs new contract with Liverpool to end transfer speculation

Egypt forward, Mohamed Salah has brought speculations concerning his future to an end after he signed a new three-year contract with Liverpool on Friday.

The 30-year-old only had a year left on his previous deal and there had been doubts about whether he would stay.

Salah has scored 156 goals in 254 appearances during his five years at Anfield since moving from Roma.

“I feel great and I am excited to win trophies with the club. It’s a happy day for everyone. We are in a good position to fight for everything,” said an elated Salah

The renewal comes as a big boost for the Jurgen Klopp side following the departure of fellow forward Sadio Mane, who joine Bayern Munich last month.
