" We want world-class talents to see that they have a home in Anfield where they can achieve all their dreams and career ambitions – we work hard together to achieve this.

"When someone like Mo Salah engages and says that this place is my home now, he speaks very hard I think. Likewise, our commitment to him says we see his value and that we want it to grow still and that it still improves in our environment.

He recognizes his teammates and this club has helped him to achieve individual success last season. He sees the individual rewards coming because he's part of something bigger that's special.

"Mo reflects where we are as a team, I think.Last season was special with a lot of special moments – but we want more.
