Liverpool have announced that Mohamed Salah has signed a new five-year contract with the club.
The Egyptian has been rewarded after an amazing debut season in which he scored 44 goals in 52 appearances, including 32 in the Premier League to win the Golden Boot.
The 26-year-old, was named as both the PFA Players’ Player of the Year and the Football Writers’ Association’s Footballer of the Year, has put pen to paper on a new deal which, according to Paul Joyce of the Times, does not contain any type of release clause.
Speaking to LiverpoolFC.com about Salah’s contract extension, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp said:
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. The key thing to remember is the best thing about Mo is that he never sees himself as being more important than the team or anyone else within it. He recognises his teammates and this club helped him achieve individual success last season. He sees the individual awards come because he is part of something bigger that is special.
Salah is currently back home in Egypt resting after the World Cup and he will report for pre-season training shortly before Liverpool go on their tour of the USA.
