Salah signs new deal at Anfield

Mohamed Salah has expressed his delight and confidence about the future after signing a new contract with Liverpool.

The Reds announced yesterday that Salah, who joined them from Roma last summer, had agreed a new “long-term” deal.

It is understood the contract is for five years, with no release clause.

The Egyptian forward, scorer of 44 goals in 52 appearances in all competitions for the club last season, said in a video posted on Liverpool’s official social media accounts: “Hello to Liverpool fans, I’m very happy to say I have signed a new contract with the club.

“My first year at the club was an incredible experience for me and my family. I have to thank everyone at Liverpool and also you, our supporters.

“I know we can achieve a lot of things together ( and) I’m looking forward to seeing you.”

Salah finished last term as the Premier League Golden Boot winner with a 32-goal haul, a new record in a 38-game season, and he was named both the PFA Players’ Player of the Year and the Football Writers’ Association’s Footballer of the Year.

Arsenal have announced the signing of Greece defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos from Borussia Dortmund for an undisclosed fee.

The 30-year-old becomes the third new arrival at the Emirates Stadium since Unai Emery was appointed as Arsene Wenger’s replacement in May and has signed a “long-term” deal.

He will link up again with former Dortmund team-mates Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Portugal midfielder Ruben Neves has signed a new contract to commit to Wolves until 2023.
