Mohamed Salah has opened up on his decision to sign a new Liverpool contract after ending uncertainty over his future.
The Egypt international has been sensational for the Reds ever since joining Roma back in the summer transfer window of 2017.
Salah has netted 32 goals in just 45 matches across all competitions this term, with 27 of those coming in the Premier League as his side close in on the title.
He had been linked with a move away from Anfield but has now decided to stay, with the winger penning a two-year extension.
