Liverpool have enjoyed a superb season in the Premier League and are now just six points away from winning the title
Even if Arsenal won their remaining six matches, they could get to only 81 points, and Liverpool are on 76 points with 18 more points up for grabs.
Arne Slot has worked wonders in his maiden season at Anfield, building on the great work Jurgen Klopp has carried out over the years.
Indeed, Liverpool’s players are receiving plenty of recognition from their peers, with Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey saying the Reds have a £34million man in their ranks who’s a “top” player
Jacob Ramsey lists Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah as the Premier League’s best player this season
Ramsey and Villa teammate Morgan Rogers were interviewed by Sky Sports for their latest ‘Best Friend Test’ feature.
One of the questions Rogers was asked was who Ramsey thought would be the best player in the Premier League this season.
Indeed, Rogers successfully wrote what he thought Ramsey would put down before the latter had done so himself.
The player in question is Mohamed Salah, who Ramsey said has been clocking up staggering numbers this term
This season his numbers have been, like, top top – and like he’s 34 or whatever,” Ramsey said of the £34million man. “Yeah, I don’t know why it took so long, that’s pretty easy
Meanwhile, Rogers said it was a “clear” answer, with Salah “having one of the best seasons ever in the Prem.”
Why Mohamed Salah extended Liverpool contract and who could be next to pen new Anfield deal
Liverpool had been sweating over the future of three of their top players, but now it looks like they’ve secured two out of three.
Richard Hughes recently convinced Salah to sign a new contract, and the Egypt international’s future is now secured for two more years at least.
Fabrizio Romano claimed that what ‘changed the story’ for Salah was Arne Slot’s approach.
“Of course, money was important too, as is always the case in football, but what really changed the story is the coach Arne Slot,” said Romano.
“The approach he had this season and also the vision of the club to try to win trophies in the coming years
This vision really convinced Mo Salah, he also knew it was basically the same for Virgil van Dijk, and so to see another leader like the captain Van Dijk committing to a new contract was also important.
So, in the end, he said no to Saudi, while in Europe, there were never concrete opportunities because clubs were interested, but he was not exploring that sort of move – it was basically Saudi or Liverpool.
“But already in the last few the months, the idea of Salah became very clear, and that was to stay and compete in a Liverpool shirt.”
As TBR Football exclusively revealed, along with Salah, van Dijk is set to sign a new contract at Liverpool, and his deal is expected to be two years long as well.
After that, Ibrahima Konate could be the next one to sign a new deal
