Liverpool have reportedly offered all of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk new contracts.

New head coach Arne Slot has enjoyed a fine start to life in the Anfield dugout and sees his side sitting pretty atop both the Premier League and Champion League tables.
Salah has been in stunning form all season and recently revealed he was yet to have spoken to the club about the prospect of a new contract.

“And I certainly want to remain that for the next two years. I am human, I have emotions too. You start thinking all kinds of things. Especially just after a game like the elimination (by England) in the very last minute.
