Salah's new deal 'speaks very loudly' of Liverpool's ambitions - Klopp

Jurgen Klopp wants “world-class talent” to see they have a home at Anfield after Mohamed Salah signed a new contract.

MOHAMED SALAH’S NEW contract speaks “very loudly” about Liverpool’s ambitions for the future, according to Jurgen Klopp.

The Egypt international signed a long-term extension – reportedly for five years, with no release clause included - following a sensational debut season on Merseyside.

Salah scored 44 times in 52 appearances in 2017-18, with 32 of those goals in the Premier League as he claimed the Golden Boot to help Liverpool secure a top-four finish, while they also reached the Champions League final.

Klopp declared the deal to be a deserved reward for the PFA Players’ Player of the Year winner’s stellar performances following his arrival from Roma, and has warned Liverpool’s rivals Salah can still get even better.

The German manager also believes the 26-year-old’s decision to commit his future to the club sends out a message of intent as they look to make Anfield a home for “world-class talent”.

“I think this news can be seen for what it is; rewarding a person who performed and contributed greatly for the team and the club last season,” Liverpool’s manager told the club’s website.

“It demonstrates two things very clearly also – his belief in Liverpool and our belief in him.

“We want world-class talent to see they have a home at Anfield where they can fulfil all their professional dreams and ambitions – we are working hard together to achieve this.

“When someone like Mo Salah commits and says this place is my home now, it speaks very loudly I think.

“Equally, our commitment to him says we see his value and want him to grow even more and get even better within our environment.”

Salah’s deal was announced as Liverpool’s first-team squad returned to training, though he was not present after playing for his country at the World Cup in Russia.

However, new recruits Naby Keita and Fabinho, who have arrived from RB Leipzig and Monaco respectively, were among a 26-strong group to report for duty.

    This bloody argument goes on every year and it’s become tiresome as obviously people have opposite opinions but in the end, who cares? The one thing I would say though is that people, especially players, should have the right to choose NOT to wear it without fear of being targeted by the UK media like James McClean was a few years ago. Whatever happened to “it’s a free country”?

    @GARFARKLE: absolutely. I personally think it should be a player’s choice to have it sewn on rather than have it be a big deal if a player doesn’t want to wear one.
    I find the whole poppy thing every year part of UK’s propaganda at this stage. Shouldn’t have a place in sport

    They should be banned from the World Cup and other major tournaments for even attempting to wear this, the poppy fascism has gone on long enough.

    If passed it should not be held against any player not wanting to wear it if he so wishes ? Many a house hold in Ireland had kids who died in both world wars in poor and difficult times in the world . Let the world go forward in peace , this can only happen in the hearts of all .
