Liverpool

As if all these things have been planned, Liverpool's Arne Slot will be the first manager of the day to hold a news conference.

He is expected at 09:00 BST and we will have all the top lines from him in this page.

So stay with us for reaction from the Dutchman on Mohamed Salah's new two-year contract.

Mohamed Salah's decision to move his Liverpool career towards the decade mark is a sign of continuing hunger for the game's biggest prizes, as well as an act of faith in the management of Arne Slot to help him achieve his goals.

When Salah used the stage at Southampton to expose his contract deadlock, it was only the third time in seven and a half years he had stopped to speak to reporters.

It was looked upon as a public exercise in getting talks moving, further evidence that Liverpool was always the place where Salah wanted to be. If that was the ploy it did not work immediately - but the desired outcome has now been achieved.

The Kop had already delivered its verdict with the banner based on his trademark goal celebration containing the message: "He Fires A Bow. Now give Mo His Dough."

Now that wish, as well as Salah's, has been fulfilled.

Saudi Arabia would have been fertile ground for Salah financially, but it could not offer the enticement of the biggest honours in the game, something he can still pursue at Liverpool.

Mohamed Salah's statistics this season are impressive as a standalone but they almost defy belief when you consider they have been a regular occurrence since his arrival in 2017.

Only Ian Rush and Roger Hunt have scored more for the Reds.

As well as his 243 goals, the Egypt forward has also provided 111 assists, meaning he has 354 goal involvements in 394 appearances for Liverpool.

More from Liverpool fan Dave Clubbe, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, on the timing of the announcement: "It's massive. We [Liverpool FC] have been stumbling and stuttering in recent weeks. Obviously, there was the Carabao Cup final disappointment, the PSG disappointment and the Trent news coming out...so I think it's come out at the right time."

Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is among a number of big names reacting to the news that Mohamed Salah has signed a new contract with Liverpool until 2027.

Henderson replied under Salah's new post on Instagram, writing "never in doubt" followed by a winky face and a heart emoji.

Left-back Andy Robertson has also replied under the post with a heart emoji, while former Reds goalkeeper coach John Achterberg has simply said: "Congratulations Legend."

Just a reminder that the narrative at Liverpool this season has been the ongoing contract negotiations between the club and three of its key players - leading scorer Mohamed Salah, captain and talismanic defender Virgil van Dijk and attacking full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Contracts for all three players were due to run out this summer.

BBC Sport reported earlier this month that England right-back Alexander-Arnold was in advanced talks with Real Madrid, but Van Dijk was set to follow Salah in signing a new deal to stay at Anfield.

Liverpool fan Dave Clubbe, of Redmen TV, has been on 5 Live Breakfast reacting to the news that Mohamed Salah has signed a new two-year contract: "I must admit, I started to lose hope a couple of months back but there has been a lot of positive noise around Salah. He has always been quite forthright in the fact that he wants to stay, he loves it here and has made a life here.

"He's absolutely adored by the football club and I'm just absolutely delighted that the day has finally come.

"It's a huge boost and hopefully, we can follow it up with more good news with Virgil."

In a season in which he already has 27 Premier League goals - making him the leading scorer this term - Mohamed Salah is closing in on some of the competition's legendary figures.

The Liverpool attacker has 184 Premier League goals, level fifth on the all-time list with Sergio Aguero after moving ahead of Thierry Henry on 175 and Frank Lampard's 177.

Only Andrew Cole (187), Wayne Rooney (208), Harry Kane (213) and leading scoring Alan Shearer (260) are ahead of him.

Mohamed Salah's numbers this season explain why Liverpool fans are greeting his signing a new contract with a mixture of joy and relief.

The Egypt forward has scored 27 goals and created 17 assists in just 31 appearances for Liverpool in the Premier League this season.

It's his most prolific campaign since 2017-18, when he scored 32 goals in his debut season for Liverpool.

We think the correct term may be throne, rather than chair Steve!

Mohamed Salah signed for Liverpool from AS Roma in a £34m deal in the summer of 2017.

The 32-year-old Egypt forward has gone on to score 243 goals in 394 appearances, making him third in the Reds' all-time top scorers list.

During his time at Anfield, Salah has lifted seven major honours, picking up medals in the Premier League and Champions League, as well as the FIFA Club World Cup, Uefa Super Cup, FA Cup and two League Cups.

He has also won the Premier League Golden Boot on three occasions, been named the PFA Players’ Player of the Year twice and taken home two Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year awards.

Mohamed Salah said he is hopeful that he would extend his stay at Liverpool to 10 years after signing a new contract with the club.

"Of course I’m very excited. We have a great team now," Salah said in a statement on the Liverpool website.

"Before also we had a great team. But I signed because I think we have a chance to win other trophies and enjoy my football.

“It’s great, I had my best years here. I played eight years, hopefully it’s going to be 10. Enjoying my life here, enjoying my football. I had the best years in my career.

“I would like to say to [the fans], I am very, very happy to be here. I signed here because I believe we can win a lot of big trophies together. Keep supporting us and we’ll give it our best, and hopefully in the future we’re going to win more trophies.”

He [Andre Onana] is more than in the spotlight. He has had two disasters as he was at fault for both goals.

In the first goal he sees it all the way but he goes down too late. He has to do better. He tries to push it round the post and he gets it all wrong. The second is a massive mistake.

There have always been question marks over Onana and they are now really big question marks.

He strikes me as a confident guy so I think he can recover from this. I don't think Amorim will drop him because that would be huge and he would then probably have to leave him out for the rest of the season.

There were a couple of times where Harry Maguire kicked it out of play because he was unsure whether his goalkeeper was going to come out. That creates uncertainty in the back line and that is the problem.
