The 33-year-old was a standout performer for Arne Slot's side last season as they stormed to the Premier League title.The Egyptian netted an impressive 34 goals in 52 appearances across all competitions, setting up an additional 23 goals for his team-mates.

No."Bournemouth won't want Semenyo to go, and Everton won't want Ndiaye to leave, either."Salah's not going to be around forever, even though he's just signed a new contract."But anyone who Liverpool think can fit that bill, they're going to try and sign them."
