(The Guardian) Salah reacts to signing Liverpool deal
Here’s what Mo Salah told Liverpool’s website upon signing the new deal.
“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 and enjoy my football. 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. I had the best years in my career.
“I would like to say to [the fans], I am very, very happy to be here. I signed here because I believe we can win a lot of big trophies together. Keep supporting us and we’ll give it our best, and hopefully in the future we’re going to win more trophies.”
You wonder if Salah has Ian Rush and Roger Hunt in his sights. They are the only two players to have scored more goals for Liverpool than the Egyptian.
Salah is currently on 243 goals, with Hunt on 285 (catchable) and Rush way ahead on a mammoth 346. Yeah, you wouldn’t think the Welshman’s record is in trouble if Salah only sticks around for two more years.
Still, it’s been a remarkable effort since he arrived at Anfield from Roma in 2017 as a fairly unreliable winger with a modest goal tally.
