ALEX JOY AT THREE MO YEARS

LIVERPOOL midfielder Alex OxladeChamberlain has backed Mo Salah to keep making special memories with the Reds for years to come.

Salah signed a new three-year deal last week in a huge boost for Jurgen Klopp’s side after it looked like the Egyptian star may walk for free next summer.

Salah (above), 30, has helped fire the Merseysiders to Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Super Cup and Club World Cup glory in his five years at the club.

But now close pal OxladeChamberlain (below) believes there will be more success stories written now Salah has got the deal he wanted.

He said: “Yeah, he’s had us waiting for a while hasn’t he? I’m delighted for him, I know what he’s like as a guy.

“I’m sure for him to sign he is very happy being here and he’ll be very content. We know how big a part of this team he has been for years.

“He is one of them, he could decide how long he wants to go on for. So it’s really good news, and for us as players, it is exciting to have someone like that stick with us and someone we’ve shared those memories with, hopefully being able to share more.”

Salah’s contract has seen his wages rise to a club record £350,000 a week with added incentives.

Liverpool have also broken their transfer record with the capture of Darwin Nunez, who arrives on a deal potentially worth £85million.

At Benfica, Nunez powered in 32 goals last season, including two against Liverpool in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Liverpool had instant success from the signing of Luis Diaz from Porto in January and Oxlade-Chamberlain believes there are similarities.

He said: “He’s that sort of a player, you know what you are going to get – athleticism, speed, strength, power.

“I remember having to chase Luis back at Anfield at one point. He made me stick it into fifth gear and then try to find sixth to keep up with him.”
