Sign the contract, Mohamed Salah! Cody Gakpo sends cryptic message to Liverpool team-mate over uncertain future

Salah is into the final year of his contract at Liverpool, and in a week's time he will be free to negotiate with clubs outside England as he will enter the last six months of his deal. While the Reds will be keen on extending their star player's stay at the club, the Egyptian is yet to commit his future.

Salah has displayed exceptional form this season having already scored 18 goals and provided 15 assists across all competitions. Last Sunday, he grabbed a brace and a couple of assists in a 6-3 thrashing of Tottenham.

Speaking to the club's official website, Gakpo sent out a message to Salah, revealing his hope he will stay at Liverpool in the long term: "It's very special what we are all witnessing. The amount of goals he scores but the assists he gives as well, the way he plays the game, how he puts other attacking players or midfielders like myself in a position to score and to be dangerous is from a high level.

"I hope for us and for him that he can continue doing that for a long time. We are very lucky to have him and proud that we can be his teammate and try to make him better. And he is trying to make us better as well."

Arne Slot's side, who have a four-point lead over Chelsea with a game in hand at the top of the table, will be next seen in action on Boxing Day as they host Leicester at Anfield.
