Mohamed Salah says contract talks are 'far away' despite scoring and assisting in Liverpool's 5-0 win over West Ham. The Egyptian forward is out of contract next summer and is focused on winning the Premier League with the Reds.
MOHAMED SALAH SAYS a conclusion to his contract situation is still “far away” after his latest star showing for Liverpool in their 5-0 victory at West Ham . The Egypt forward, who is out of contract at the end of the season, scored one goal and set up two others in the win that put the Reds eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.
