Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp reveals Mohamed Salah's stance on future after emphatic Aston Villa win

Salah has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, with Liverpool rejecting a huge £150million offer from Al-Ittihad on transfer deadline day.

But Klopp has now spoken out and insists the forward wants to stay at Anfield instead of jumping ship.

“He played a top game. Mo had to work super hard and he did," said the German.

"I never had any doubt about his commitment to this club.

"You can’t imagine how much fuss the world has made but how calm we are with it. He is our player and wants to play here."

Szobozslai was also asked about Salah after helping Liverpool put Villa to the sword.

And he echoed Klopp's comments by saying everybody at the club wants the 31-year-old to stay.

"It feels always good to win, even away, but at home against I don't know how many people I am glad to score my first goal and there are going to be more coming," he said.

"It's always different, in the first home game we started not so well and against Newcastle we didn't so the important thing was to come out well now and finish with 11 men.

"We did quite ok, quick to 2-0 and came out good and scored a goal in the second half too."

"You know it is football everyone is talking [about Salah]. We are really happy that he has stayed.

"We are of course speaking between each other but he wants to stay, he wants to be here and be with us.

Villa boss Unai Emery, meanwhile, bemoaned his side's poor performance.

"The first half was key," said the Spaniard, whose team was also hammered by Newcastle last month.

"They were clinical. Maybe we were a little weak in some action and that was key in the first half.

"At 2-0 it was difficult but we tried to react, we had two very good chances at the beginning of the second half but after the third goal it was very difficult to come back.

"We played with some circumstances, like Diego Carlos being injured, and we played in some circumstances where we were not clinical.

"It was a tough match, they are a very good team and a candidate to be a top four. I was excited to test our performance but today we didn't."

Diego Carlos picked up an injury during the match.

And Emery is unsure how long the defender will be sidelined for.

"Hopefully not a big injury," continued the former Villarreal, Arsenal, PSG and Sevilla manager.
