Liverpool star Mo Salah gave nothing away as he was asked about his Liverpool future following Sunday's victory at Tottenham.

Salah, 32, is one of the Reds' all-time greatest players, with the Egyptian having scored a remarkable 229 goals in 3723 games for the club since joining from Roma in 2017 for an initial £36.5million fee.

The forward has won eight trophies at Anfield and remains integral to Arne Slot's side as they continue to impress so far this season.

However, Salah's contract expires in the summer and the Egyptian is yet to extend his deal, with speculation over his future currently a major talking point.

And when he was asked about new deal updates he simply replied: 'No, no'.

'Records? It's great to achieve that at such a big club. Wherever I am going to end my career I am happy about it', told Sky Sports.

Mohamed Salah scored goals number 228 and 229 for Liverpool on Sunday evening, as Arne Slot's side disposed of Tottenham to win 6-3 away from home.

He now moves up to fourth on Liverpool's all-time scorer chart, leapfrogging Billy Liddell on 228 goals and chasing Gordon Hodgson, who netted 241 times for the Reds.

However, he still trails Ian Rush in first by some distance, as the Welshman scored 346 goals in 660 appearances for Liverpool.

Salah set up Dominik Szoboszlai to make it 3-1, and in doing so he registered his 10th Premier League assist of the season to along with his 13 goals, becoming the first player in Premier League history to hit double figures in both categories before Christmas.

Addressing his record-breaking evening, the Egyptian was humble in his response, revealing that he didn't even think about it before the game.

'Of course, I didn't think I about it before the game to be fair, but I'm glad that I've done it a few times,' he told Sky Sports.

'So yeah, something makes me happy. I'm proud, and just keep working hard.

'Of course, it's something great to achieve. It's such a big club like Liverpool. But again, the most important thing is we won the game, and they had that achievement. It's great.

'I don't know how he scored that many goals to be fair. I think the football in that time was quite seven against seven. It wasn't really 11 against 11, but he's a great legend for the club, and we have a good contact. So whatever I'm gonna end my career with, I'm happy about it. So let's see.'

Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the table this weekend, as Chelsea dropped points in a 0-0 draw to Everton.

The Reds are four points clear of Enzo Maresca's side and still have a game in hand, meaning they will enjoy Christmas with a comfortable lead over their competition.
