Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has moved to play down any fears Mo Salah will leave the club in the summer.

The Egyptian winger has once again been in good form for the Reds this term. He scored one and set one up in their most recent win against West Ham. That goal took his total for the season to 12 in the Premier League.

Ever since arriving at Anfield, Salah has been hugely impressive. Such form has led to admiring glances from all over the footballing world. Talk, then, of a potential move, is always rife when it comes to January and the summer.

However, when asked if Salah would be on his way this summer, Klopp responded in a typically defiant manner.

“I would think so, did you hear something different?” Klopp said. (Liverpool Echo)

“How can you see the hunger to stay at Liverpool? It looks to me like he is really settled, to be honest.”

Salah, alongside Bobby Firmino and Sadio Mane, have become one of the most feared front threes in world football.

But Klopp admitted he didn’t know how long Salah’s contract was, merely acknowledging it as ‘long’.

“As long as I don’t hear anything and I don’t ask the players what they think of next season or in two years, for me, it looks like he will stay. How long is his contract? Long? I would [think so] yes, but I have no idea.” Klopp added.

There was a point in time where leaving Liverpool might have been on the agenda for a number of players.

Failed Premier League attempts, lack of success or consistency in managers, all contributing to players seeking moves elsewhere.

But not now. There is no need for anyone to go anywhere. The Reds are one of the most dominant forces in world football as things stand. There’s simply no reason for Salah to want to move on.

Of course, sometimes the thought of a fresh challenge in a new country can appeal. However, Liverpool fans can probably rest easy.

It looks like Salah is going to be around for some time yet.
