Salah was magnificent on Sunday, showing why he deserves a massive new deal after his match-winning heroics at Southampton.

In a concerning update, however, the Egyptian legend said that he is currently “more out than in” at Liverpool, having not yet had any offer from the club.

“We are almost in December and I haven’t received any offers yet to stay in the club. I’m probably more out than in,” Salah said.

“You know I have been in the club for many years. There is no club like this. But in the end, it is not in my hands.

“As I said before, it is December and I haven’t received anything yet about my future. I love the fans. The fans love me. In the end, it is not in my hands or the fans’ hands. Let’s wait and see.”

Salah showed at Saints why a new deal is simply a must before next summer, with the 32-year-old still at the peak of his powers.

Liverpool FC: On this day

2001: Robbie Fowler celebrates vs. Man United

On this day in 2001, Robbie Fowler made the final appearance of his first spell as a Liverpool player.

It came in a 1-0 win at home to Sunderland in the Premier League – Emile Heskey scored the only goal – being substituted at half-time, prior to joining Leeds.

Fowler made an emotional return to Liverpool in January 2006, however, and while he was past his peak at that point, there were still sporadic moments of class.

The legendary striker finished his Reds career with a tally of 183 goals in 369 appearances.
