Liverpool Boss Arne Slot Surprised by Salah’s Incredible Form

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has praised Mohamed Salah as the best player in the world but admitted the club did not expect him to perform at such a high level this season.

Salah’s Stunning Form.

Salah, now 32, has surprised many with his outstanding performance this season. After struggling to reach 20 league goals in recent seasons and going through periods of poor form, the Egyptian star has been unstoppable.

Halfway through the current campaign, Salah has already contributed to 30 goals, with 17 goals and 13 assists. This surpasses his total contributions for the whole of last season and nearly matches the season before. He is on track for one of the best seasons of his career.

Contract Situation

Salah’s contract with Liverpool ends this season, and he has confirmed that no renewal offer has been made yet. This has caused concern among fans, as they fear losing their star player.

Analysts suggest Liverpool might hesitate to offer Salah a long-term contract due to concerns about a potential decline in form because of his age.

Slot’s Comments

After Salah’s brilliant performance against West Ham, Slot expressed his admiration but acknowledged the club’s surprise at his improvement.

“We didn’t know Mohamed Salah could get any better… but somehow he has,” Slot said, according to Fabrizio Romano. “Best player in the world? If you look at his numbers, you can’t argue with it.”

Liverpool fans now hope the club can resolve Salah’s contract situation and keep their star player for the future.
