Peter Crouch says Mohamed Salah will still have "unfinished business" at Liverpool at the end of the season and believes the Egyptian won't want to leave this summer as a result.
Salah is on course to finish with the lowest goal tally of any of his nine seasons at Anfield, with the club's third-highest scorer of all time currently on just seven, only four of which have come in the Premier League.
It's in stark contrast to the rest of his career to date on Merseyside and the reigning Premier League player of the year hit 29 goals last term as Arne Slot's Reds won the title by 10 points.

Reported interest from the Saudi Pro League remains, with the speculation ramped up in December after an explosive outburst from Salah after the 3-3 draw with Leeds United when he started on the bench for a third successive game.
Crouch, who won the FA Cup with Liverpool in 2006, says Salah will want to steel himself for another year at Anfield on the back of a disappointing personal campaign and claimed the long-serving forward has hit form since he returned from the Africa Cup of Nations last month.
“He’s a world-class player and I’d like to see him still at Liverpool next season," Crouch told Paddy Power.
"I think he’s still got unfinished business, he won’t want to go out like this with the season he’s having this year.
"It feels like he’s getting back to form in the last couple of games. Obviously, before and after the Africa Cup of Nations, he was definitely looking like he was struggling for form.
"It’s been better lately, still not the Mo Salah we know, but he’s definitely got another season in him. It's not as if he’s overweight and his legs are gone yet."
Salah has started all seven of the Reds' games since he returned from Egypt's AFCON campaign in Morocco and has scored two goals and claimed four assists.
