Mohamed Salah delivers strong message to Liverpool after Arne Slot’s comment raises a key question

Mohamed Salah proved to be Liverpool’s hero once again as Arne Slot’s team secured a point against Arsenal, highlighting his ongoing significance for the club.

Following Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, Salah broke from his usual silence regarding contract discussions, stating that no one had approached him about a new deal at Anfield. This was a rare moment for Salah, who typically avoids post-match interviews, letting his performance speak for itself. Against Arsenal, he did just that.

By scoring after being set up by Darwin Nunez, Salah not only helped his team return to Merseyside with a crucial point but also tied with Robbie Fowler for eighth place on the all-time Premier League scoring list at 163 goals. By the end of the 2024/25 season, he could surpass Frank Lampard and Thierry Henry.

Additionally, Salah is now just one goal shy of Roberto Firmino’s Liverpool club record of 11 league goals against Arsenal. It’s a common occurrence for Salah to break records or set new statistics in nearly every match he plays.

“But that’s not only all,” Arne Slot remarked in his post-match press conference. “It’s also that he’s available for us. Top players are always present and perform in critical games. Today was significant for us, just like last week against Chelsea, where he contributed a goal and an assist. Having such quality players is essential for a big club like ours and Arsenal’s, as their absence makes achieving results challenging.”

While Salah didn’t comment on his contract situation after the match, he once again stepped up when it mattered most, showcasing his role as Liverpool’s talisman. His contributions are clearly valued by Slot.

This season, Salah boasts eight goals and seven assists in 13 appearances, leading Liverpool in both categories. If these statistics don’t warrant a contract extension, what would?

Arne Slot has made few changes at Liverpool since taking over as manager from Jurgen Klopp, but he has adjusted the tactics. Notably, the team is now utilizing a 4-2-3-1 formation with a No. 10 role.

Slot has been positioning Dominik Szoboszlai in the CAM role, with Curtis Jones also available for this spot, indicating a desire to enhance depth in that area.

Caught Offside reports that Liverpool has shown interest in Shakhtar Donetsk’s Georgiy Sudakov and has been closely monitoring his performances for some time.

Scouts attended recent matches against LNZ Cherkasy and Veres Rivne, where Sudakov scored four goals and provided an assist in a 5-1 victory over Cherkasy.

Impressed by the 22-year-old’s performance, Caught Offside suggests Liverpool may move forward with a bid for the midfielder. A previous report from Spain noted that Sudakov’s value is around £29m[€35m]. However, securing him may be costly, as Caught Offside claims Shakhtar is seeking approximately £54.4m[€65m].

The report states that Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United are also exploring the possibility of acquiring the Ukrainian player, meaning Liverpool will encounter strong competition for any potential deal.

Sudakov plays as a No.10 and has had a strong beginning to this season, contributing to nine goals in eight league matches.

He has become a regular starter for Ukraine and assisted in the winning goal against Georgia in the Nations League during the recent international break.
