Mohamed Salah is reportedly set to travel to Saudi Arabia this week amid continued speculation about his Liverpool future. He was given a rousing reception from the Liverpool crowd and was largely impressive, setting up Hugo Ekitike for his second goal of the game.

During that interview, Salah suggested the Brighton game may be his last for the club as he jets off to AFCON, and fueled speculation further when he waved to the Kop at the end of the game.
