• Slot: ‘Hopefully he can make his legacy more special’

• Liverpool’s record signing Isak ‘in a really good place’

The Liverpool head coach, Arne Slot, believes Mohamed Salah will “leave the club a legend” after announcing his departure at the end of the season. The Egypt international took to social media last week to reveal he had come to an agreement with the club to end the contract he only extended last summer a year early.

It has been a difficult campaign for the 33-year-old, the low point of which came in December when he said Slot had “thrown him under the bus” by benching him when results took a slide.
