Salah was interviewed by the official Liverpool website and addressed his extension with the club.

The PFA Player of the Year award winner explained why it took some time to come to agreement with Liverpool.

He said, "I feel great and [I am] excited to win trophies with the club. It’s a happy day for everyone.

“It takes a little bit of time, I think, to renew, but now everything is done so we just need to focus on what’s next.

“I think you can see in the last five or six years the team was always going [upwards].

"Last season we were close to winning four, but unfortunately in the last week of the season we lost two trophies.

“I think we are in a good position to fight for everything. We have new signings as well. We just need to keep working hard, have a good vision, be positive and go for everything again.”

Salah is now expected to join Liverpool in pre-season as they get ready for another Premier League campaign in August.
