Premier League transfer news: Mohamed Salah, Anthony Martial, Mario Mandzukic

Mohamed Salah signs a new long-term
contract with Liverpool

One-Minute Read

After a debut season which saw Salah win the Premier League
Golden Boot, the Egyptian striker had been linked with big-money
moves to Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.

But the 26-year-old has “committed his future to the Reds by
putting pen to paper on the deal” the club said in a statement.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp told Sky
Sports: “This news can be seen for what it is; rewarding a
person who performed and contributed greatly for the team and the
club last season. It demonstrates two things very clearly also –
his belief in Liverpool and our belief in him. 

“We want world-class talent to see they have a home at
Anfield where they can fulfil all their professional dreams and
ambitions – we are working hard together to achieve this. When
someone like Mo Salah commits and says this place is my home now,
it speaks very loudly I think.”

In his first season at Anfield Salah scored a total 44
goals in 52 appearances.
