Former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has said he hopes Mohamed Salah stays at the club, labelling him the best striker they have had in modern times.
Salah’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season with the 32-year-old Egypt international saying earlier in January he was “far away” from a deal being reached.
When asked about the situation, Klopp told reporters: “I hope he stays. [He’s] the biggest striker LFC had in the modern times. Obviously there were other really good strikers, but fantastic player, fantastic human being, outstanding athlete, best ambassador your country [Egypt] could have.
“Fantastic in all departments, so I hope he will stay at Liverpool.”
