Liverpool’s Mo Salah has shown no signs of Saudi speculation affecting his mindset this season, with the player amassing six goal contributions already in his first five league appearances of 2023/24.

“He was outstanding again against Wolves and hasn’t put a foot wrong since the Saudis tried to lure him to their Pro League with mind boggling amounts of cash. “All credit to the Egypt superstar, who has conducted himself in a manner dignified and respectful to the club who have made him a world-class player.
